The place
The Peloponnese
Nafplio on its bay, Monemvasia on its rock in the sea, the stone towers of the Mani and Messinia’s long beaches — the south of mainland Greece, a few hours’ drive from Athens.

How the light falls there
The light is clear and warm over the sea and the olive groves. The coasts of Messinia and the Mani face west, so the sun sets over the water; in Nafplio it goes down behind the mountains across the gulf, and the old walls turn gold. At midsummer the sun sets just before nine. Middays are harsh, so portraits belong to the first and last hours of the day.
