Magical evening shot of the Temple of the Sun at the island of Rhodes, Greece. After a heavy rain one autumn evening a few years back, I glimpsed the most amazing colored sky, so I grabbed my camera and headed to the old ruins for some pics... Believe it or not, it's not -that- processed, the colors were almost as you see them...
