Karagöl
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Karagol is a tourist attraction of Giresun Province located in eastern Black Sea region of Turkey.

"Karagöl" means "black lake" in Turkish. It appears dark blue because the lake on the Karagöl mountains is very deep. For this reason it has been called as "Karagöl" due to the appearance of its surface color.

Karagöl is the common name for a mountain chain, its summit, a lake on it, a high plateau around it and a summer settlement in the high plateau located in the southeast of Dereli district of Giresun province. The Karagöl as a high plateau is just located nearby the provincial border of Giresun, Ordu and Sivas provinces.

Karagöl Dağları (Karagöl Mountains in Turkish) is a chain of Giresun Dağları (Giresun Mountains) in the southeastern border of Dereli District of Giresun. It is the second highest peak of Giresun. The Karagöl summit of this mountain chain is 3107 meters high.

There are a several glacier lakes (nearly ten) on the hills and hillsides of Karagöl Dağları. Karagöl lake giving its name to the mountain is a crater lake on Karagöl Dağları. On the lower side of the Karagöl summit there is another lake called Aygır Gölü (Aygır Lake). It is a beautiful glaciers lake. On the eastern hillsides of Karagöl Dağları Bağırsak Gölü (Bağırsak Lake) is fed by the water of Karagöl lake nearby Eğrikaya Obası, a summer settlement. Camlı göl (Camli lake) is another lake on the northeastern side of Kırklar Tepesi (Kırklar Summit) that is located on the east end of Karagöl Dağları. Kırklar summit is 3040 meters high. In the west side of this summit there is Sağrak Göl (Sağrak Lake). There are many summer settlements such as Kanıağıl, Avşar, Yukarı Belen and Aşağı Belen in the Sağrak valley starting below Sağrak Göl.

Böyle bir yer varmi ? :S bahsettiğin kadar güzel gerçekten, bi karadeniz turu şart,
Ama ne foto çekebiliyorum ne gezebiliyorum artık, otur oturduğun yerde gibiyim şimdilik
Ellerine sağlık

It looks like a beautiful and tranquil place, but hard to see through all that foliage. If you'd gone down to the lakeshore instead of shooting through the trees I'm sure you could have come away with a much more effective shot - the forests and meadows on the other side of the lake look stunning, and there were also some great reflections for you to work with.
Having all that greenery in the foreground just doesn't work, in my opinion - it acts more as a barrier to the scene than a framing device to lead the eye in, which I'm guessing is the effect you were after.
A lot of potential in this location though...

Cheers,
Ben

Hi Salvator,
Picturesque shot from this romantic place with beautiful colours and lights. The composition is very attractive I like the rich green tints and the calm atmosphere, Very well done!
Have a nice weekend
George

güzel bir yermiş.sizde gayet güzel fotograflamışsınız...
tebrikler..

Merhaba Salvator,

What a genuinely beautiful photograph of Karagöl. Giresun to me is synonymous with the finest filbert nuts (findik) in the world. The colors, the depth of field, the resolution, despite the 200 KB limit, is impressive.

I will write you separately about getting together for coffee the morning of Friday July 22.

Warm regards dear Salvator,

Bülent

hi salvator,
very informative notes to go with this posting about the black lake. and the far view of the snowed mountains gives the nice contrast to the "black" waters. the greens around always adds the scale. beautifully composed.
cheers,
mehmet B
