[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 lovely architectural shot, with resplendent colors and resolution, makes Alaçati high on my list of Aegean towns to visit. The story is very engaging. (The truth is I did not know "Alaca" was synonymous withe "kirmizi" and "kizil.") The picture is so vivid, I feel the vicarious pleasure of having seen the place in person.

Parthenon fotografi hakkindaki yorumunuza tesekkür ederim. Benim eski dekanimin hikayesini anladiginiza göre, Ingilizceniz çok iyimis.

Sevgi ve selam,

Bülent

Hi Mine,

very good frontal capture of that stone architecture. The details of the windows and door in blue work really fine. The clarity is good and I like the light that comes from the right. Well done!
Best wishes,
Carlos
