Megalo Livadi on Serifos is certainly one of those retreats and destinations in a most picturesque corner of Serifos. A few days ago I posted 1916 A.D. and The bridge a sunset with the same bridge but I thought the beauty of this side wasn't seen in all its detail. Here's the old bridge from the old iron mine and the wagons left to rot the last day they carried the ore to the boats afew decades ago. What is interesting is the meager vegetation of the area only limited to the reddish bushes (locally called Φλομος meaning to make dizzy, a powerful natural poison used to catch fish). The green ones on the left when dried they are used to light small oil lamps. Perhaps I may sound a bit sentimental but I was really overwhelmed by the beauty of the spot. I hope that one day you may have the chance to visit the place yourselves.

Thanks a lot for visiting my page, and I hope you have a long and nice week end.
Cheers!

What happens with this bridge?
Well, I cannot add photos about this bridge, but let me say your composition show us the whole place and the photo looks really nice.

Well done and good work.

Geia sou Argyri,
I am glad to see another shot of this strange and fascinating place. The broken bridge, the wagons, still on their tracks and the overgrown steps - all in this very bare landscape = make a haunting and beautiful image.
Your notes on the plants are also very interesting to me. I have seen them, but did not know thir use.
Best wishes....Maggie

Ciao Argiris,
this image is pleasantly strange, with some almost surreal but beautiful colors. I also like as you have inserted in the context the bridge. Beautiful job, compliments.
Ciao and happy w.e.
Paolo.

Hi Argiris,
Is it a piece of the bridge?I think that the picture is lovely with these flowers in foreground.Very beautiful landscape.
Regards
maria

The rugged moutnain with those textures and hues is so imposing and that bridge to nowhere is sure interesting. I like your composition

Hello my friend Argiris,
I like to thank you for sharing this full daylight image of the bridge apart from your previous 2 posts!
very beautiful coastal scene here with warm colouration and beautiful vegetation growing along the coast!
I enjoyed it very much with thanks
cheers
Tony

Hello Argiris,

An historiacl and nostalgic vew.
A good composition with nice colors and contrasts, a good depth of field, a good work.
Regards,
Roger

Ciao Argiris, splendid composition with great bridge, wonderful seascape with fantastic colors, very well done, have a good week end, ciao Silvio

nice clarity of colors and good framing. I like the contarst of the terrain with the sea.

Hello Argiris,

I find very charming this photo with the broken bridge. Beside that the curve of the road with its warm saturated colours is a joy for the eye. A well chosen POV and good mastering of the exposition,
Have a nice weekend,
Donato

Αργύρη καλησπέρα,
βάλθηκες μου φαίνεται εσύ και ο Ηρακλής να μας μάθετε καλά το Μεγάλο Λιβάδι της Σέριφου. Προτιμώ την δική σου version που βλέπω και αυτά τα πανέμορφα έγχρωμα λουλουδάκια στο μπροστινό μέρος του κάδρου.Το σήμα κατατεθέν φυσικά της περιοχής είναι η μισοκατεστραμένη σήμερα γέφυρα που δίνει προοπτική και βάθος στο κάδρο σου.

Καλό σαββατοκύριακο,Δάνος

Hello Argiris,

Interesting to see the remains of this construction used for loading ore on the ship, even a few wagons are still there!
A fine composition with sharp details, and inclusion of the plants in front adds to the feeling of depth...

Γεια σου Αργύρη, πολύ όμορφη η καταγραφή σου με κάδρο εξαιρετικό και χρώματα υπέροχα. Αυτό που μου κάνει εντύπωση είναι τα βαγόνια που δίνουν την εντύπωση ότι ο χρόνος έχει σταματήσει εκεί. Σε χαιρετώ,

Hello Argiris,

You chose a very good angle, with the long way to the left.
Also the curve of the sealine in background care for a nice depth.
Your notes on the plants are also very interesting to me, a time ago I have read about the old fisherman his piles with this poison, for catch of fish.
Very well done.

Have a nice sunday,
John.

a more realistic shot of the place when compared to the ones iraklis had taken... a good documentary i think argiri... the sky looks a bit dull but still a nice shot... all the best...

Bonjour,
belle photo de ce pont inachevé, jolies couleurs et bonne netteté, pour les trois photos car les deux coucher de soleil sont superbe aussi.
Bon POV qui montre bien cette colline avec ces mur de pierres, ces wagonnets, ces batiments et cette eau qui fait presque une diagonale avec des méandres.
Je reviens

Amitiés Thomas.

Yasu Argiris,
Very nice pov to show us this half bridge and very nice sharpness and details.
Se xereto. Salvator.

Bonjour, cher Argiris,
Encore une photo de qualité à ajouter à votre très bel album ! L'effet du pont ne menant nulle part est percutant sur le lecteur.
L'image a été finement pensée et parfaitement cadrée. Merci pour tout, l'image et la note d'accompagnement.
Amitiés.

Hi Argiris,
Great shot from this place with spectacular composition. I like the romantic environment and the particular bridge, the POV is effective. Superb shot, Have a nice day

Dear friend, I am sorry to announce that I may be departing from TE very soon. The reason is that TE admins keep erasing my photos although here there are many similar ones, some without even a note! I keep on posting and they keep on rejecting without a "real" reason. when I ask for an explanation by e-mail, they keep ignoring me. Today as another act of threat they erased one of my first posts here. I posted on the forum requesting advise, they erased that post also. I cannot keep up with this rude behavior, I feel I am posting to my stupid pc since once rejected no one responds to my requests.
You be well and keep shooting!
Nick

Kalispera Argiris,
The drama of the bridge to nowhere drew me from the thumbnail, While this dosn't have as dramatic a sky as your TL pix, it certainly shows the bridge more dramatically and teaches more about the world.

Hi Argiris,
I like your colorful foreground to contrast the rustic look of the main scene ... as if nature is saying that there is beauty amidst decay. The bridge I suppose can be considered as an eyesore but for a photographer as an interesting subject just like the way you presented the scene. Well captured and composed! tfs
Cheers,
Renier
