Reference images for my project:
These are some images/sketches I found on the internet of Kyriena which shows how the the harbor as well as the castle use to look like around those times. Based on these references as well as the other images which I've taken myself while I was there, that is how I planing to get the basic look after that going to go more in depth with other related research which will help me out
And a slightly more detailed version of the location..
A Plan of the location which shows u the castle, harbor and wall of the city...
reference of ships and small boats and peer..
Here we have one of the pillars that support a chain across the harbor. This is going to be my main center peace of the action final 3d model since it in the center as well the fact that it kinda give me the illusion that it's forming a spiral shape.
Getting Started:
As I was returning to Cyprus for the Christmas & New Year holidays, I had the opportunity to visit Kyrenia harbour and also the castle of Kyrenia, where I took lots of photos for the lighting as well as for textural aspects of my project.
Because I was stuck in Heathrow airport for 3 days, I wasn't able to get a head start and it was after Christmas when I managed to get to Kyrenia for the first time. I needed to pay three visits to cover all the material I wanted. It was kind of weird because going to the North, I felt like a foreigner in my own country ( you have to produce ID, pay 25 euros for 1 month's insurance to get across the 'border' into the Turkish controlled areas; all the signs are in Turkish - no Greek or even English - so navigating is quite hard ). Nevertheless, it was a great experience but I would have liked to have had more time to research my background more thoroughly.

Project for myself:
As an individual never had much luck in terms with work..Simply because of previews experiences in working with other people. So as suggested by both of my Tutors Mike Smith & Dan Dalli I decided to do my own project as to reflect on my abilities and new skills I would learn by myself this year and apply them.. like lighting.Mike suggested I make use of my Cypriot background and specifically using Kyrneia Harbor and Dan thought this would give me a good opportunity to demonstrate and experiment with lighting while I would try and match reference photos of taken at that specific time of the day to give better focus on my lighting.
