BLUE DOOR, a photo from Hios, North Aegean

Photographer's Note

Grand, nostalgic, discret, a real lady in the middle of Archipelagos gifted with a unique lonic light and generous Mediterranean sun, full of philosophers, people of spirit as well as merchants, the gradle of the glorious Greek merchant marine, the island of Chios
In hospitable Chios Island, feel the romance of the middle ages, seel the glory that will still wandering on the heroic island of Psara and allow the Mermaid to welcome you to the picturesque island of ship owners, Inousses.
The idyllic scenery, the crystal clear waters, the alternation of pictures, the renowned Chian architecture, the genuine inslurar life and the civilised atmosphere mixed with cosmopolitan hues, will capture your senses and your heart.
If a trademark were to be established for Chios, then surely it would be the mastic tree. It is a gift, but at the same time a curse, since it has always been the bone of contention for the conquerors. The oldest references to mastic tree have been traced back to Herodotus in the 5th century BC., while this amazing tree only thrives within the 21 mastic villages of southern Chios. The kendos (as the locals call the incision for the mastic tree) begins in June and lasts through September. This is a social event. If you will visit the mastic villages during that period you will fell the warmth of the people prevailing in every corner of the village.

Μαρία γεια σου,
απ΄ότι βλέπω το Αυγώνυμα είναι πολύ πιό ενδιαφέρον χωριό από τον Ανάβατο, με τα σπίτια να είναι περιποιημένα και οι υπάρχονες κάτοικοι που του δίνουν ζωή.
Ωραία η πόρτα που παρουσιάζεις με τον πέτρινο τοίχο να δημιουργεί μια εξαιρετική αντίθεση.Τα χρώματα και η ποίτητα της φωτογραφίας είναι εξαιρετικά.

Καλό Σαββατοκύριακο,Δάνος

Καλησπέρα Μαρία,
πολύ όμορφα τα πέτρινα κτήρια και υπέροχες οι παρεμβολές και οι αντιθέσεις που δημιουργούν τα έντονα χρώματα. Πολύ καλή η χαμηλή οπτική γωνία και η ανηφορική διαγώνιος που καταλήγει στην εκκλησία. Η εξαιρετική διάυγεια μας επιτρέπει να θαυμάσουμε το ανάγλυφο των πετρόχτιστων επιφανειών. Υπέροχο και το καθαρό φως, τα χρώματα και η ατμόσφαιρα!
Να είσαι καλά, καλό Σαββατόβραδο,
Ουρανία

Kalispera Maria,

Superb clearity, good texture and POV chosen was immaculate.

la porta blu è un gran colpo d'occhio, il punto focale, d'attrazione di un'immagine comunque bellissima, luminosa e solare come solamente nelle isole puoi trovare.
Un caro abbraccio, buona settimana.

Hi my friend

Congratulations beautiful best

delpeoples (44960) 2012-03-11 14:37

Kalispera dear Maria

This is so unmistakably Greece. The vibrant colours, the characteristic architecture, no mistake as to where we are. Excellent Point of View and pespective. I would probably have cloned out the shadow of the pole in the right foreground, but this is a small concern.

Warm regards
Lisa

jlbrthnn (79773) 2012-03-11 16:02

Hello Maria ,
An interesting perspective , and an attractive blue door . May be the picture is a little over exposed , but it seems that the light was very harsh .
Regards

danyy (0) 2012-03-12 5:43

Bonjour Maria,
elle ressort vraiment fort cette porte, de quoi éclipser la force du bleu du ciel. Tu as bien choisi le moment de la prise de vue avec ce soleil un peu rasant.
Regards.
Daniel.

Hello Maria,
I think I missed many of your beautuful photos in the past. This is one of them. Excellent light and marvelous color contrast. I like the perfect viewpoint and the composition placing the stone structured almost diagonally through the frame.
The great light on the stone wall and the blue & green also lends a lovely contrast to the scene.
Very well done.

fabbs99 (5471) 2012-09-10 6:19
