I took this panoramic photo of the Greek city of Nafplio while climbing up what seems like an endless number of steps up to the Palamidi fortress that overlooks the whole city and bay. Nafplio was the first capital of the modern Greek state for a few years before the government decided to move the capital to Athens. The photo was taken ultra-wide at 14mm and cropped for panoramic proportions 2:1.
