Balkan Town Photo | TrekEarth

Photographer’s Note

Etara is a museum reconstruction of 18th to 19th century craftsmen's town in the heart of the Balkan Mountains. Different crafts, like wool washing and dying, carpet weaving, hats and clothes sawing, knife production were and are powered by the running river water. This production spread all over the Ottoman empire. After the national liberation in 1878 this local production could hardly compete with European industry and gradually declined, giving place to big town factories.

Hi Anton,
It certainly looks like a town in Anatolia. Unbelievable ! It shows us there are many things to share in this part of the world.
Thanks.

Hallo Anton!
This sharp and colourful photo has a wonderful depth and it shows some very interesting houses with stone roofs like in some regions of the Alps. The whole scenery is peaceful and calm and the note is a "edal"-note = informative! ;-)
Thank you for showing this!
Greetings from sunny Germany!

Hi Anton,
beautiful houses. They remind me of Koprvistica. The little river through the village as well.
Fine composition.
Thanks and regards, Gerrit

Hello Anton,
I like your composition. It shows different details of architecture, the house, the bridge, the tower...and the water adds a nice effect. Bulgarian small-town architecture is really nice.

zeca (20026) 2006-04-20 2:55

Hello Anton! Nice POV and interesting architecture. You´ve presented it very well, with nice colours and sharp details. I like that tower with the bell on top!
All the best!

Hi Anton,
Excellent POV, for this very interesting scenery. Beautiful façades along the river, with nice wooden structure details, which lead our eyes to the attractive tower in the back. The trees complete well the background. The sky is a bit overexposed, but it's not serious. Very well done!
TFS,
Ricardo
