That looks like it would so much fun to drive it. I love this photo terraced roadways and layers of green. Great composition and a great feeling to it.

hi Νίκο ωραία η ιδέα σου να φωτογραφίσεις του « πέντε δρόμους « όπως τους ονομάζουν όμορφη φωτογραφία

I like the name of the photo and the idea is great too! I would add it to Humorous category! (Every driver knows what the "serpantine" road means! :)

Serwus Nikolaos !
Few years ago I was driving almost the same road to the small village under Olympus. Sorry, but I really don't remember the name of the place now. It was superb feeling while the sights were changing on every curve. Thanks for recalling :)
Excellent point of view, fine light and vivid colours.
Well done,
Mat

Hi Nikos it is always pleasure driving that road, many turns and beautiful souroundings. This summer i did that road many times :-))

Wow, I am getting queasy just looking at the shot. It is a great POV and gives us a real sense of what it's like. It might have been even more of an experience with a vehicle in the shot.

I believe you enjoy driving on this road!!Good work.Beautiful photo

Great shot .. like it

Εγώ πάντως συνοδηγός σε τέτοιο δρόμο δεν μπαίνω με τίποτα.
Η φωτογραφία είναι πολύ ωραία.

Great shot. I can remember roads in Tenerife they are more or less alike. I like the composition,

Michal

Wow Nikos, What a great picture.. lots of depth and colours in it. Like your note too. Wish we could have seen some action driving in the picture :o) but hey.. just a joke.

Thanks for sharing!

Ciao, Tjeerd

Wow! This photo makes me want to go driving there...
Especially because I've never been in Greece, so it's time to go I think ;)
I've put it on my desktop!
Compliments

Hi Nikolaos,

Very beautiful composition with these curves. The image seems to me slightly over-exposed but it's a detail. And perhaps if you remained long enough, you have the same image with a racing car in full action…
Cordially,

Christophe

Excellent point of vue ! I tried, but could not, to take a similar photo in Ladakh on a single slope that had no less than 18 hair-pin curves, but travelling on top of a truck, this was really too difficult - your photo reminds me of that, but I admire the framing here !
