I had just left the bridge that was used for loading minerals to ships (you can see it HERE and HERE) and I was going up and down some cliffs, searching for the old small stone buildings where once upon time were the "primitive" healing baths for the mining workers. Almost halfway, I found some strange and beautiful (at least in my eyes) rocky formations. Here you can see just a small part.

I guess, an expert, a geoligist, could "read" in these rocky "cakes", lots about the geological history of the island of Serifos.

Hi Hercules

Superb repetition of the swirling patterns & shapes in this marvellous semi abstract semi surreal scene. Good colour & sharpness.

Ευχαριστίες, & συγχαρητήρια!

Καταπληκτική λήψη Ηρακλή.Γνωρίζω πολύ καλά το μέρος αυτό, έχει πολύ ενδιαφέρον.Το πέτυχες την κατάλληλη ώρα και τα χρώματα είναι εξαιρετικά.
Χαιρετώ.
Νίκος.

Hi Hercules,

The patterns in the rocks are stunning, as are the colours. They could be absolutely enormous like the Grand Canyon or very small: I don't know as there is no sense of scale. Brilliant anyway!

Regards
Lindsay

Kalimera Hercules, an artistic approach with nature from you here, the result is really attractive, good idea well composed, compliments!!

have a nice day,
Fabio.

Hi,

You've just found a geologist!! Interesting textures of rocks, indeed. However Yhe photo is for me too bright in the first plan. I guess it's good idea to decrease a bit brightness here. Now, it's hard to focus on all the cadrage. Eye focus automatically on bright area. Neverthless, I like rocky shots.

PS: I'll try to post WS, after I'm back from work;)

Γεια σου Ηρακλή και χρόνια πολλά
Τελικά η Ελλάδα μας δείχνει ατελείωτη μέσα απο τις φωτογραφίες σου. Κάθε γωνιά και έκπληξη. Εντυπωσιακοί οι σχηματισμοί και φοβερά τα χρώματά τους.

Hello Hercules
Amazing is the work of nature..beautiful colours & superb repetation of the patterns. The tight crop & framing is excellent to allow us concentrate on the patterns. An excellent shot my friend!

This country is an open book. With this photo you can even see its age and its wounds...
Fascinating landscape and view.
Take care,m

Hola Hercules, saludos desde el Caribe. Este tipo de fotos me gusta, me gusta la mirada en detalle sobre la naturaleza, sobre todo cuando parece un pequeño submundo, como con vida propia. ME encantan los dibujos que hacen las líneas. Bonita foto.

Very strange and beautiful for my eyes as well. This reminds me of some places here in Utah. The orange and black layers really create some good contrast. I like the way you composed this with the crack in the middle. I also like how you just focused on the rocks and don't show any of the surroundings.
Very cool,
Ryan

Hi Hercules,
unbelievable landscape. Great forms and colours.
regards, Gerrit

Hi Hercules,
I´m not a specialist, too, but I would say these are different layers of volcanic eruptions, sulphur is the yellow and lava dust the black one (maybe from Santorini?). Wonderful formations in any case..
Cheers Chris

Kalispera Hercules.

Si alguien me preguntara qué le falta a la foto, mi respuesta sería, sin dudarlo, el elemento humano.
Creo que aportaría mucho a la foto y ayudaría a entender mejor lo que estamos viendo.

Por cierto, el día 9 salgo para mi pueblo y el siguiente miércoles iría seguramente para Grecia.
Pero todavía no he mirado nada para ir (y voy pillado de tiempo).

Ta leme, file mou.

Hola Hercules.
Muy buena foto y ademas muy interesante, la formacion calcarea de estas rocas que por cientos de años se fueron formando tu las has captado de una manera genial, los diferentes colores que presentan son realmente impresionantes. Tu POV esta muy bueno igual que tu magnifica definicion.
Un fuerte abrazo.

Hello Hercules,

As I looked at your photograph, I thought exactly what you said, how much a geologist would be able to tell from these strange formations. I will get one of my colleagues, a geologist to look at the image and see if he can make anything out of it. My only recommendation, however, would be to put something recognizable in the photograph, perhaps a lens cap, a tripod, a meter stick (that of course is the trick of the archaeologist), just to get an idea of the scale. Are these layers approximately 10 cm thick or much more?

Warm regards,

Bulent

Hercules,
your abstractness is simple and yet very attractive and engaging. Good eye for the detail and tight framing to focus on the abstractness. I just wish you would had more sharpness.

Es difícil a primera vista saber que estas viendo mirando esta imagen,...bueno y a segunda vista tambien!, Ja, ja, ja,!, aparte de poeta ahora me demuestras tus dotes de geólogo, si es que no dejarás de sorprenderme Hércules...Ah, por cierto la imagen muy guapa, pero continúo sin entenderla ;))

Hi Hercules, Your low POV makes this natural layering stand out well, nature is a great artist so often. The WS photos are also interesting, similar to some we saw at Milos. Greece is a wonderful place to visit. TFS. Murray.

What an impressive texture, Irakli!
They look like huge sea shells, and the colours are just beautiful, look at those yellows! A great finding...I like the angle you took the shot from and the position of the crack that 'leads' into the photo. Fantastic!

Ola Hercules,
A special place indeed, like the chess table of gods...
Once there was light, and the gods created the colors...

Hola Hercules:

El efecto abstracto es espectacular, pero los tonos que rodean este fenomeno de la naturaleza, producen un gran complemento.

Sin duda de que son elementos que dignan a ser fotografiados. El encuadre que le has dado es excelente, y el manejo de la iluminación, muy apropiado.

John

Très bel effet que cette érosion de roches. Le rendu est pas mal...As tu essayé en B&W ?

Hello Hercules,

Superbe coup d'oeil, pour ce très beau paysage. Ce bout de nature que tu as isolé est en effet très graphique, j'aime beaucoup.
Bonne soirée
