It was important to me to frame the sunset on Caesarea’s beach with Caesarea Maritima famous aqueduct. Because of the difficulty with taking photos with details of the sun as well as of the aqueduct I took two photos (30 seconds apart), with different settings (1/1000, F/22 and 1/200, F/10) and used software to combine the two to reach the desired results, above.
Update: Desktop wallpaper (1024×768) available.

Acre (Akko), amazing place with a long history, from the Greek and Roman periods through Arab rule and the Crusades, Ottoman rule, the British Mandate till modern times. You can step right out onto the water, allows for some interesting photo opportunities especially around Old Acre.
A few more photos are available in the album, and a self portrait after the click.
The view from Caesarea‘s beach is so majestic. And below, near the antiquities.
Update: On the photo above, it meets only some of my requirements for a ‘nicely composed photo‘ and I think that explains why it is more serene and less bold.
