A Classic! Photo | TrekEarth

Photographer’s Note

The traditional architecture of Santorini is similar to that of the other Cyclades, with low-lying cubical houses, made of local stone and whitewashed or limewashed with various volcanic ashes used as colors. The unique characteristic is the common utilisation of the hypóskapha: extensions of houses dug sideways or downwards into the surrounding pumice. These rooms are prized because of the high insulation provided by the air-filled pumice, and are used as living quarters of unique coolness in the summer and warmth in the winter, and also as premium storage space for produce and especially for wine cellaring: the Kánava wineries of Santorini.

Ama ne klasik değil mi? :)
Denizin kapkaranlık çıkmasını çok sevdim. Geçmesini beklediğiniz teknenin varlığını da. Ama en çok o nefis maviyi...
Selamlar İhsan Bey,

Merhaba Ihsan
Composition is nice but picture quality bad, there is lots of noise in dark areas and compression artefacts
Have a nice day JY

Ciao carissimo Ihsan,
splendida architettura che domina su un mare giocoforza diventato scurissimo ma di sicuro effetto, anche perchè in splendido contrasto coi colori intensi di Santorini.
Sarà pure un classico ma......
Un caro abbraccio.

Hello my dear Ihsan

What an another artificial architectural shot!
Tight and bold framework, nice composition and color(very vivid)/light management are splendid!
The color of the sea is very significant and good match with the color of other portions.
Congratulation on your masterpiece!
Thanks for sharing and best regards,
Have a good Sunday !
