On the 800m high mountain of agio Nikolas (above alto Styra) are the last remnants of the hardly investigated ancient acropolis castle. The photo shows the stone gate at the entrance. From this the view opens over the sea and the islands.

Hello Wolfgang,

The view from this spot is beautiful. I think the gate is a strong focal point in the image as it create a more interesting element for the foreground. Nice light and colours. Thanks for sharing.

Hallo Wolfgang,

dein Bild vermittelt Fernweh....schöne Aussicht von dort oben (zu Fuß hoch?); Umsetzung und Komposition sind erste Sahne..

viele Grüße Bernd

Hello Wolfgang,
A pleasing and expansive landscape. I like the positioning of the old doorway and the way the bay curves round so sweepingly.

Hallo Wolfgang!
Schöner geht's nicht! Ein wirklich atemberaubender Blick - sowohl aus historischer als auch aus touristischer Sicht. Ein wunderschönes Foto mit einer im doppelten Sinne tollen Tiefe.
Das muss ein besonderer Ort sein ...
Grüße aus dem sonnigen Siegen!

hi Wolfgang,very beautiful landscape and nice architecture!

Hi Wolfgang,
Very nicely composed shot with sea background far below and old gate still standing after rest is ruins. Midday light is rather harsh though, and could be adjusted a bit darker.

Hi Wolfgang!

Really like this shot.It feels like it's filled with antique secrets and mysteries.I can sense an element of Hope in this picture, because there's a door wide with paradise-like opening.
Perfect creativity and POV.Ingredients,lightnings and contrast, everything is A1.
(Best of luck for future)
Cheers!

Hello Wolfgang,a good POV and composition for this shot high up on the mountain.The ruined arch appears in a strange place, placed as it is on the mountainside but the view through it and to the side is beautiful, I can imagine that I am standing there.
Tfs, regards Jean.

Hi Schanze :-D
Was für ein herrlicher Blick auf das Gewesser. Schön, wie du die doch schon recht "vertrocknete" Landschaft noch ins Bild bekommen hast, neben diesem antiken Monument.
Grüße
Leon

Lovely and classic doorway looking toward a spectacular view, grand view, beautiful blue sky with nice cloud scattered across the horizon. Make one wish to take a walk there. Great composition. The day is strong with haze, but you did and exceptional job capturing all the details that can be seen. Thanks

Hallo Wolfgang,
wie durch ein Tor ein Blick in eine leicht verschwommene Welt durch all den Dunst. Mir gefällt die Position des Steintors vor diesen weiten Buchten und dem sehr schönen Blick.
Lieben Gruss, Ulf

Hi Wolf:

I love this picture, and that the composition is presented in depth of field.

Good management of light on stage, with beautiful tones and an impressive sight on a beautiful landscape. Excellent.

John

Hello Wolfgang,
Very nice panoramic view seen through this ancient gate. One may wonder if this is the same view seen 2500 years ago..
cheers,

Hello Wolfgang,

A well balanced composition, where the ancient gate makes a fine frame for the lovely seaside landscape!
The image has an awesome feeling of depth, a good diagonal in composition and sharp fine details...

Greetings,

Hello Wolfgang, I am still catching up on your Evia posts. This is an island I would like to visit. I have read of the Gate of Styra and now I know how it looks - Beautiful!
Good strong foreground to give 'weight' to the view.
Best wishes....Maggie

Hallo Wolfgang!
Das erinnert mich sehr an einen sehr ähnlichen Torbogen auf der isla Taquile im Titicacasee.Auch die Landscahft sieht genauso aus und die Höhe über dem Wasser stimmt auch.Der Bogen ist gut platziert und erlaubt noch einen guten Blick auf diese Land-und Meerschaft.Gute Tiefe auch.
Gruß,Leo
