A tiny island, a photo from Evia, Central Greece

Photographer's Note

Chalcis or Chalkida (pron.: /ˈkælsɪs/; Modern Greek: Χαλκίδα [xalˈciða], Ancient Greek/Katharevousa: Χαλκίς), the chief town of the island of Euboea in Greece, is situated on the strait of the Evripos at its narrowest point. The name is preserved from antiquity and is derived from the Greek χαλκός (copper, bronze), though there is no trace of any mines in the area. In the late Middle Ages, it was known as Negropont (Italian: Negroponte, "black bridge"; Greek: Νεγροπόντε), a name that was applied to the entire island of Euboea as well.

Βασίλη καλημέρα,
το site απ΄ότι βλέπω πάει από το κακό στο χειρότερο από πλευράς ποιότητας.Έχω απογοητευθεί γιατί κάποτε υπήρχαν καλοί φωτογράφοι και υπήρχε ενδιαφέρον.
Δυστυχώς αυτά τελείωσαν.Τέλος πάντων ευτυχώς υπάρχουν ακόμα λίγες εξαιρέσεις που μπορεί κανείς να δει καλές φωτό,όπως αυτή εδώ.Εξαιρετικός ο φωτισμός,η ποιότητα και γενικά η όλη παρουσίαση.

Καλό Σαββατοκύριακο,Δάνος

Kalimera Vasilis, my TE neighbour this morning.
Fantastic Fjord and island on view here, with the snowy cup of a mountain on far left.
Picture space divided in most intriguing way, as there is a forest in close, and fabulous thin clouds aloft, decorating the fascinating landscape and sea scenery.
Enjoy a nice weekend,
Ike
