Walking around the lakeside road of Kastoria (CHECK HERE) , one of the most picturesque roads in the whole Greece, is always a relaxing experience.

Of course, there are some moments, when an "enemy" or "food" appears that cause a certain agitation, like an airraid. But this, usually doesn't last more than a few seconds and then, once again tranquility comes back.

The boat that you see here is a special boat of the lakes with no carina, called "plava" (plural= "plaves")

A great one Hercules, with a perfect composition of the 2 different shots, and amazing light, tones and a great subject too.
thanks, ciao

Hello Hercules,

Hahaha, that is just great!! I didn't see it in the thumbnail, but here it's clear. I was first thinking, 'Hmmm, doesn't seem like a storm...'. Well, now I see. Great!!

Greetings,
Dennis

hello Hercules
even if I prefer when there is only one photo,I have to admit that this is a nice and funny idea!I like very much the colours,the blue boat in the grey glowing water,it makes a nice and soft harmony!Very well done!
Best regards.
Pascale

A really great idea!!! Well done! I like this little blue boat and the reflections are beautiful! Have a happy day!

Hi Hercule
Nice idea to get 2 picture for the price of one. It could be e game for finding the 7 mistakes.
Excellent light also
Well done
Bertrand

Hi Hercules,
Beautiful work with splendid realization. The colours, lights, sharpness and clarity are excellent. Amazing impression, Congratulations. Have a nice day
George

Hi Hercules

Very well composes shot. The color of a boat really pays off against the calm water. Nice reflection too. Both shots are amazing. Good composition and fine POV.

Regards,

Lopshang.

Hercules,
I'm starting to like this combination of different moments more and more. This is the perfect example of a nice combination showing a lot of action inbetween the two moments shot. Lovely work!

Bonsoir Hercules
Idée originale de nous faire découvrir un même sujet à deux moments différents. C'est du bon travail.
Merci pour lepartage et bonne soirée.

Geia sou Irakli,

Hola Hercules.
Muy buena idea de captar la tranquilidad de las aves sobre el bote y las mismas volando a su alrededor, el color azul del bote es muy llamativo contra el gris del agua lo cual me gusta mucho, el reflejo es magnifico.
Buen trabajo.
Abrazos.

hi hercules
nice sequence, a bit like movie, the one on the top is my favorite, good idea indeed.

Hello Hercules,

A very imaginative, exquisitely composed, and most fortuitously captured image. As a physicist, I would call the lower photo "ordered" and the upper, "disordered state." And the Second Law of Thermodynamics says that a system tends towards the disordered state. The first image is apparently the earlier of the two. Seriously, this is a wonderful, humorous image.

Warm regards,

Bulent

Two beautiful shots of two beautiful elements (the boat and birds). Well done

Albert

Hercules, this is a clever shot and the subject, the boat, is well captured in both views. Nice color and reflections.

Greg

Hello Hercules,
What a fantastic idea! Both of them are splendid.
Thanks for sharing

Geia sou Hrakli,
Very attractive comic strip on the adventures of the gull on the lake of Kastoria!
I prefer the quiet version which, for me, corresponds better to the vision of this lake, but I like the idea of the confrontation!

Hola Hércules,
gran composición dualista: el antes y el después, el ahora y el inmediato, la calma y el movimiento, el silencio y el crugir de las alas...............un creativo e innovador trabajo donde la gran calidad de las fotografías es una característica común!!

Un saludo y a disfrutar del fín de semana,

Καταπληκτικές και οι δύο φωτογραφίες αλλά και η ιδέα να τις βάλεις μαζί σαν συνέχεια η μία της άλλης. Πολύ καλή δουλειά!

Hello Hercules,

This is nice done, two picture with a little bit difference.
Maybe I would prefer for the picture under where the seagull quiet sit on the boat.
Nice presentation and lovely with the blue colours of the boat.
Very well done, thanks for sharing.

Have a nice weekend,

Hi Hercules
Very interesting double composition.
Interesting blue colour of this flat bottom boat.
An appreciable picture.
Cheers.

Beautiful duo of pictures with movement or not in the center of it! Lovely colors of the sea! Great title and idea! Thank you for sharing! ΦΙΛΙΚΑ Στέλλα

Hola Hercules,
what a nice puzzle shot :)
First one very peaceful with sitting birds and the other one full of movement, i like it, looks little bit nostalgic.
Nice sundayyy :)

Hello Hercules,
I liked the blue plava and its inhabitants very much. This is a purely simple and serene photo(s). Nice idea to show two different moments of the seagulls.The reflection completes the scene. Very well done, congratulations.
Best regards
Sibel

Wow.. i like it both, those birds are really great addition to the composition. The blue boat is awesome, i think somebody should sit there. Excellent shot.

Ola Hercules

Kai kalimera otra vez, Hercules.

Otra de las fotos que tenía ya vistas de antes.
Y la verdad el formato de poner las dos fotos me gusta. Eso y que ambas fotos son muy buenas.
Los reflejos, la exposición, el agua, las gaviotas,... por todo eso y más, un buen trabajo.

Ta leme, file mou.
