Photographer's Note
ABRAAM'S BAY
Locality: in the north-western side of island (roughly 15 km from the Apollo and 20 from the xora).
Description: it is a beautiful and quiet beach, with small sandy beach, with limpid waters. The sea here is heat, while exists small settlement with tavern and few rooms for renting.
The access in the beach is easy and it constitutes ideal place for those who they wish rest and isolation.
Sculptures are made by Kiriako Roko.
ΚΟΛΠΟΣ ΤΟΥ ΑΜΠΡΑΑΜ
Τοποθεσία: στη βορειοδυτική πλευρά του νησιού (περίπου 15 χλμ. από τον Απόλλωνα και 20 από τη Χώρα)
Περιγραφή: πρόκειται για μία όμορφη και ήσυχη παραλία, με μικρή αμμουδιά, με διαυγή νερά. Η θάλασσα εδώ είναι ζεστή, ενώ υπάρχει μικρός οικισμός με ταβέρνα και λίγα δωμάτια για ενοικίαση.
Η πρόσβαση στην παραλία είναι εύκολη και αποτελεί ιδανικό τόπο για όσους επιθυμούν ξεκούραση και απομόνωση.
Τα γλυπτά είναι του Κυριάκου Ρόκου.

Hi Danos,
What a lovely place to unwind at the end of the day with a cold glass of beer ... that would be a great lifestyle. You've captured this lovely place well.... I just miss that warm clear waters. Good work! TFS.
Cheers,

Καλημέρα Δάνο, ααααχ αν μπορούσα σίγουρα θα ξαναπήγαινα εκεί.
¨ομορφη γωνίτσα φωτογραφισες, εκεί θα έτρωγα σαρδέλλες ψητές με μια χωριάτικη και κρασάκι και θα καθόμουν πολύ ώρα να αγνάντευα το πέλαγος.-¨)))
Μου άνοιξε η όρεξη.
Χαιρετώ

Δάνο καλή σου μέρα.
Μια υπέροχη 100% Ελληνική τοποθεσία.
Πραγματικά λατρεύω ,το καλοκαίρι ,να κάθομαι στην σκιά απο καλαμιά.
Με την φωτογραφία σου μου έδωσες αυτη την όμορφη αίσθηση.
Πολύ καλή η ισοροπία του φωτισμού μεταξύ των φωτεινών και σκιερών περιοχών.
Πολύ καλη επίσης η χρωματική διαβάθμιση συνέβαλε αποτελεσματικά στη όμορφη παρουσίαση του τοπίου.
Σε χαιρετώ

Γεια σου Δάνε,
μας μεταφέρεις σε ένα πολύ όμορφο ελληνικό σκηνικο στο οποίο η ανθρώπινη παρέμβαση είναι τόσο αισθητική. Τα γλυπτά έρχονται να συμπληρώσουν το τοπίο και είναι σε αρμονία με αυτό. Οι κλιμακώσεις του μπλε κερδίζουν τις εντυπώσεις...Οι σκιές από τα καλάμια της σκεπής προσδίδουν στο σκηνικό...
Εχω την αίσθηση ότι τα πάντα σε προσκαλούν και σε προκαλούν να τα απολαυσείς.
Υπέροχος φωτισμός και σημείο λήψης!
Σε χαιρετώ:-)

Hi Danos!
What a lovely corner you show us today, I really envy you for having been there!
The composition is absolutely gorgeous, it is maybe the strinking on the image, along with an intimate light that gives a lovely ambience to your image.
Adorable the result!
Thank you so much for your words and suggestions about my last picture Danos, I appreciated them!
Cheers!

Ενώ είναι εξαιρετική σε στήσιμο-χρώματα και φωτισμό, εντούτοις μου φαίνεται λιγάκι θολή. Ιδίως στα σκοτεινά σημεία. Δεν ξέρω, μπορεί να είναι και η ιδέα μου, αλλά αυτό μου πρόσεξα όταν την πρωτοείδα.

Kalimera Danos,
I like those light and shadows, which are often a challenge. I think it was not less here but managed it great. The perspective a bit diagonal is good and opens the view to the water and beach. Nice place well done.

Καλημέρα Δάνο
Το κλίμα που δίνει η φώτο σου είναι πολύ ωραίο... Καλοκαίρι κάτω από το ίσκιο των καλαμωτών και με μια μπυρίτσα και μεζε..... ακριβώς μετά το μπάνιο στη θάλασσα. Το καλοκαίρι έρχεται οπότε και έρχονται ανάλογες μέρες ;-).
Η διαγώνια λήψη οδηγάει το μάτι στη φωτογραφία.
Χαιρετώ

Bonjour, mon ami Danos,
Je me vois très bien installé à cette terrasse, et regarder avec envie le bonheur simple environnant. J'apprécie ces sculptures contemporaines. Ah ! Danos, si je pouvais avoir la possibilité de me transplanter d'un point à un autre en une fraction de seconde, je serais déjà sur place !
Très belle réalisation.

Nice diagonals with a lovely effect of the lines of sunlight and a good placement of the sculpture. Reserve that table for two, please :)

Hi Danos,
I really like this.
I love the sense of the cool comfort of the porch amplified by the bright distant light.
I love the sense of blue it has such a sense of place .. it takes no time to say "Greek" ..
Most of all I love the sculptures and how they tie into the distant shore .. wonderfully composed image.
take care,

Hi Danos,
Good setting, the diagonal lines give a great perspective towards the right. The light of the Sun that enters among the canes of the roof creates a game of light and shades in the ground that offers a nice graphism to the image.
The sea and the rocks indicate us that this one is a pleasant and calm place, with many natural beauty, and the table seems to invite us to enjoy a good food next to the sea.
I like it, it's a place that I want to know some day.
Best regards,
Josep

Hi Danos,
The sense of solitude produced by the only table on that balcony with a dreamy view over the sea can't make it sad, because the nostalgic mood produced is actually pleasing. The cane roof, filtering the sun light and producing all those lines, adds to the POV to produce a great sense of depth. It's a simple, but very inviting image.
Regards, José.

I like the way the statue positioned on the veranda, and your chosen POV placed this in the perfect spot, not to obsecure the rocks on far "falling" to sea.
Lovely light and shadow mingle.
