Invasion of clouds Photo

Photographer’s Note

This a panoramic view of the town of Trikala, on a day of heavy and strange clouds. The photo is taken from the fort of the town, from the old clock (SEE HERE) to be more exact.

On the lower part of the photo, there where you see the red roofs, it's the old part of the town, called Varousi, and further more towards the horizon, some of the modern sector of the town. In the background, small view of the huge plains of Thessaly.

*** IN WORKSHOP, A B&W VERSION ***

Some general info about Trikala from WIKIPEDIA:

"Trikala (Greek: Τρίκαλα; formerly Trikka) is a city in northwestern Thessaly, Greece. It is the capital of the Trikala Prefecture, and is located NW of Athens, NW of Karditsa, E of Ioannina and Metsovo, S of Grevena, SW of Thessaloniki, and W of Larissa.

Located in the fertile plain of Thessaly in central Greece, modern Trikala is the Homeric Trikka (or Trikki), the birthplace of three of the Argonauts and one of the areas touted as the birthplace of Asclepius (Asklepios), who is more often said to have been born at Epidaurus, where his main temple was sited in antiquity. Ruins of an old sanctuary to the physician-god, an Asklepieion, or healing place, are located between the central square and the church of Saint Nicholas (Agios Nikolaos) in Trikala; it is the oldest Aesculapium of Greece - a kind of medical centre, from which the worship of Aesculapius gradually spread.

There are other late Hellenistic and Roman period remains to be seen, mosaic floors, a stoa, and baths. Dominated by its Byzantine fortress on Hellenistic foundations occupying the ancient Acropolis, the picturesque city is divided in two by the river Lithaios, with the churches of Agios Demetrios and Agii Anargyri lending more Byzantine character to the modern town. It was captured by Ottomans during the Greco-Turkish War of 1897 on April 28 for six months.

During the Principality of Pindus and Voivodship of Macedonia the national assembly of this state sat in Trikala.

Trikala also has the General Hospital of the Trikala Prefecture. The Physical Education and Sport Science department of the University of Thessaly is also located in Trikala, and was founded in 1994, with the first students being admitted in the academic year 1994-1995; it was originally housed in the Matsopoulos Park facility, but moved to the new Karyes campus in July 1999. Trikala has over 20 schools of secondary education, and a modern night technical school also functions in the town.

Since December 2005, the Municipality of Trikala offers its residents free high speed Wireless Internet connection. As of 2007, around 95% of the total area of Trikala has access; this is one of the few European cities to offer such a service for free.

Trikala is also home to A.O. Trikala, a professional football team that competed in the Greek first division as recently as the year 2000.

One of its most famous citizens was Vassilis Tsitsanis, one of the greatest musicians of modern Greece."

Hi Hercules,

Despite the over-exposure in the left part of the skyline, a very interesting and just quite abnormal shot! And that's a good thing ;-). It is really an amazing combination of clouds. Just humbling, making the city look so small. Nice.

Greetings,
Dennis

fagner (17) 2007-11-23 3:43

I liked the contrast between the dark color of the clouds and the intense red roofs under its shadows!

kibele66 (2910) 2007-11-23 3:43

Kalispera Hercules,
In the thumbnail i thought that it is a kind of smoke of a big fire. But they are amazing and dangerous clouds.Nice POV, perspective and deepness.
Congratulations

thor68 (5537) 2007-11-23 3:44

wow, are the aliens coming?! awesome 10mm-wide-angle-view with a terrific band of scary dark clouds "threatening" the lovely
colorful houses underneath - did it rain later on? well done & best wishes, thor.

fotoguy22 (1956) 2007-11-23 3:44

Hercules: Excellent dramatic photo. I'm impressed by the way the buildings somewhat mirror the shape of the enormous black cloud. It looks like the people there should be seeking shelter for sure.

Hola Hercules,
voy a parafrasear a Óscar, es una foto BRUTAL! Ciertamente, el efecto que nos producen estas impresionantes nubes es de miedo por lo que amenazan, es más, en el horizonte ya se puede ver la cortina de agua de la tormenta que cae por allí.
Me gusta mucho también el puro grafismo que nos ofrecen los tejados de las casas de la ciudad, en una bonita mezcla de tonos rojos con blancos.
Excelente encuadre siguiendo la regla de los tercios, es una foto muy elegante.
Un abrazo,

Hi Hercules,

A vision of end of the world here… Which impressive cloudy mass. A photograph which I see had success and which will continue to impassion like me. It would be said that this cloud will absorb the city. Superb image processing and I confess that I prefer clearly the version color with the black treatment and white which is less impressive I find. Very beautiful and interesting photograph, Hercules cheer.

With all my friendships and a good day,

Jean-Charles

Hi dear friend,
Impressive shot with beautiful colors, contrast, dramatic clouds view, deepness and composition. Clouds look like a blanket on the city. B&W version is also so good. Great POV. TFS,
Warm regards,
Emir Nedim

Hola Hercules,

Un cielo impresionante, nuca vi nada igual, parece una fenómeno muy extraño, me gusta la perspectiva, crea una gran profundidad y conduce nuestra mirada hasta el horizonte donde se pierden las nubes, el 10-22 funciono a la perfección y creó esta magnifica panorámica de la cuidad, es un trabajo impresionante, te felicito por el momento que viviste y la foto que capturaste.

Un saludo
José

Not much to add to the remarks made by the crowd so far, Hercules. Let me belatedly congratulate you on this phenomenal image. Best,

Ηρακλή καλησπέρα,
έτυχε και εγώ καθυστερημένα να δω την 'εισβολή',όπως ο Delic, αλλά, εγώ τουλάχιστον, θα βάλω τον 200ό πόντο.Εξαιρετική η εύνοια της τύχης που σ'εφερε στο κατάλληλο σημείο, την κατάλληλη στιγμή και φυσικά την ετοιμότητά σου να τραβήξεις αυτή την καταπληκτική φωτογραφία.Δεν μπορώ να πω κάτι παραπάνω από τους 99 προηγούμενους που σου έγραψαν,τα είπαν όλα.Πάντα τέτοιες επιτυχίες.

Σε χαιρετώ,Δάνος

Yassou Hercules
How on earth did I miss this glorious picture of yours?! Brilliant in wide angle with the perspective of the red roofs & the thick grey clouds which has a surprising diminishing perspective like a massive arrow head. An absolute stunner of a shot my friend.
Best Regards
Angshu

Hi again Hercules,

This is just freaking extraordinary: Those clouds seem to be some Biblical storm, as if the residents of the red roofed homes below were very naughty. I may have missed if you had not linked it with your recent cloud photo, thanks.

Olá Hercules,
A different and interesting view. I like this contrast with the dark approaching sky and the ruby red roof tiles... Just great!
Have a nice weekend and again thank you for sharing,
Ana
