Photographer's Note

gatzea view

The village Ano Gatzea (Upper) is 16km from Volos and is at an altitude of 100m. This village is surrounded by olive groves. A little further from the village are the three bridges, which were built by the Italian engineer "Evaristo de Kirico" in 1903.

On these bridges you will see the small train, which is famous through all of Pelion, known as "Moutzouris-Smudgy". If you can, you must take the journey on the train, which travels from Ano Gatzea to the village of Milies.

Kato Gatzea (Lower) is the port serving inland village. Visitors from all over and of all ages are attracted to here. You will find tavernas and restaurants by the sea where you can enjoy your meal whilst watching the beautiful sunsets.

It is the perfect place for quiet and peaceful vacations. During the summer, many festivities take place, such as sailing races, and the large festival of Timiou Stavrou (The Holy Cross), which takes place on September 13th to 14th.

Bonjour Costantino

On dirait bien que ton appareil hésitait a faire le focus entre les verres sur la table ou l'arrière plan, ce qui donne une image avec beaucoup de flou.

Amicalement

Serge

Hello Constantino - I like this. Most of us would remove the empty glasses and ashtray from the shot or stand up and remove the whole FG with table and chairs. You have documented the type of scene we are all familiar with, sitting at a table having refreshment and enjoying the view. A clever and creative way to bring people and reality into the image. Warm regards from Namibia. Rosemary
