Photographer's Note

This beautiful traditional house in the Santorini village of Pyrgos sits right above the dark entrance to the winding narrow streets that lead you up to the castle.

Wonderful light Brian - A fascinating location that invites exploration. What lies behing the closed door and down the dark passageway I wonder? I love the vivid pop of red. Are those geraniums in the pot? Have a good weekend. Rosemary

Hi Brian!

Another excellent masterpiece from you. I love how the photo is balanced even though more than half of the photo is covered with shade which still gives us a good detail of the cobbled stones and the other exposed in the sun. Excellent light management! Wonderful colors and warm tones! Well captured!

Have a great weekend!

Hi Brian!
A very good pov to show this little corner! So Mediterranean, with so many nice details! I like the shadows and the details like the flower pot. Very good colours also!

Hi Brian,
A crossroad without a sign. Go up for the light or get down for the shade...Interesting composition, well seen.

Hi Brian
very beautiful and with a good POV (as always!). I find very harmonious the correspondence among the arc to the right and the staircase to the left that give movement to this delicious foreshortening. The light is very beautiful and the colors are fantastic.
Have a good evening

Hello Brian,

all of your Greek series are beautiful. I prefer this one for its lovely terracotta tones and cosiness of the place.

Best wishes

Romana

Great shot with beautiful composition. The bright red on the flowers holds our attention, and the patch of deep blue sky also looks good. Thanks for sharing such a beautiful image.
