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.
