This was towards the end of the setting up period. Note the two figures
sitting in the dunes to the immediate left of the camera crane....

 
 
 
As I was walking down the beach past the production camp, I was able to have a closer look and it seemed as though they were almost ready to begin filming. A large group had gathered up in the dunes and all the equipment appeared to be set up. Oh, to be able to get closer!

Still, I continued strolling casually past, trying not to obviously take too much notice, and eventually reached the other end of the beach, rounding the island near to Callisto's cave and passing the rocks where the fishing sequences in Little Problems were filmed. Unfortunately, the production camp was too far away to even be visible from this position, the island or up on the peninsula, so I started to retrace my steps.

Eventually, the film crew came back into view, and it was clear that things were now in full swing. The lights were on, I could see equipment being used and the group of people had become more scattered, obviously by this point engaged on their various individual production tasks. I resolved to try to walk a bit closer on the way past this time!

To the right of the picture, the same two figures are visible up
in the dunes, sitting slightly away from the main filming area....

Even with filming in the area, I can never
resist the chance of a nice artistic shot!
