[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Alaçatı (also known as Agrilia) is a unique Aegean town on the western coast of Turkey, which has been famous for its architecture, vineyards and windmills for over 150 years has now made its name in the world of windsurfing and kitesurfing, with its crystal clear water, consistent and steady wind and well acclaimed Turkish hospitality.

There are numerous stories about the name Alaçati. According to some, Alaçati is the name only for the harbour area which is about two kilometers from the old town. Some claim that the name for the town was Agrilia, and there is also another name AlacaAt (RedHorse) used for the whole area. Their claim is based on a story, that the ruler of Alacati had a red horse to ride. When riding the horse, bystanders would refer to him as "Alacaatli (the man with the red horse)", in time the name was somehow changed to Alacati.

Merhaba Mine,
The position of the blue door in composition is great. You have a little overexposing problem on the left hand side wall. 1-stop faster could have worked very well. Tiny pine looks very nice.

best regards,
hakan

Merhaba Mine,

I've always like detail shots of doors, and this one is no exception. The pastel blue of the gate, framed by the stone walls contribute to making this a very attractive combination. I did not know about Alaçati until I encountered it in your photos.

Warm regards,

Bulent
