Some time back I expressed my frustration at not being able to find a stock photo of a certain type of landscape--essentially, a place on the coast where a gorge meets the ocean, where the gorge widens out. And where the photo is taken from the ocean, looking towards the shore.
I think I've finally managed to find the closest thing I'm going to get to it. Preveli Beach in Crete has the sort of geography I want, with a gorge that widens as it meets the ocean. There's even a river running through it! (The river is, as rivers do, running along the bottom of the gorge and not a waterfall, but that's something I can composite in.) It's taken from a drone over the ocean and at a little higher angle than I really want, but I can't complain too much.
The photo in question. You can see the scale better in this image, which isn't a stock image but comes from this tourist page. The Butterfly Valley in Turkey is a close contender, but suffers from a lack of ocean-direction photos, as well as being a bit narrow.
...I'd put "edit" here but I haven't hit "post" yet. Here's a panoramic view from the right direction and angle. Hopefully I can correct the distortion in Photoshop. :)
