Hi Athanasios,
a great picture from the borderline between the blue sky and the fog.
Best part is the lonely tree on top of the needle.
Compliments, Chris

Hi Athanasios,
It's a very effective invitation to the practice of mountaineering. The image is magical, with those scarps decorated with the green bushes or trees lit by the sun while immersed in the fog.

Άδειοι μου τόποι, όνειρα,
κόκκοι της άμμου, απόνερα.
Όσοι κοιμούνται γίνονται
παιδιά και παραδίνονται.
Πάνω σε βλέφαρα κλειστά
του χρόνου ο άνεμος λυσσομανά.

Wow, this is a spectacular view, Athanasios. I'm not a capricorn but love to climb to vertigo views. On the other way, my wife is a capricorn and hates highs ;-) The presence of the clouds surrounding us here only makes it more magical and exciting. Thanks for sharing the sense of being in the clouds.
best regards,

I can only guess at the extreme POV you had to take this. I imagine you dangling from a rope with your camera in hand. ;D There is a wonderful atmosphere with the combination of low cloud and sunlight.

Bonjour Athanasios,
elle impressionne cette photo, cette chute verticale donne le vertige même si la brume cache un peu le fond. Ces nuages ressortent très bien grace aux couleurs fortes du ciel et des rocs.
Un format vertical qui joue bien.
Regards.
Daniel.

Hello Athanasios,
Superb! The steep mountain on the one hand is spectacular, and on the other hand is particularly put in beauty by the fog. The small tree on the piton of right-hand side is pleasant. If the color of the sky is added, clearness, framing, one has a excellent image. Cheer!
Have a nice day

Hi Athanasios. Although this is stunning I’m guessing it’s not quite the same as being there, unfortunately for us. Beautifully captured, you have handled the light well and have great colours also. Well composed and thanks for sharing.

Hi Athanasios!
I really like this atmosphere, the rocks surrounded by the clouds, the little trees at the top. Well framed, with very good colours!It must have been really hard to reach the top:)!

Athanasios,
I completely agree with you that mountaineering has many benefits. One of the most famous american landscape photographers in the post-Ansel-Adams era was the late Galen Rowell. He was a montaineer himself and what he got through his passion to go high is incredible of beautiful.
Staying up there at the top and seeing how the clouds play around the peaks and embrace the walls is a fantastic thing. The shot shows exactly that. The only thing that I miss is a person standing at the top of the isolated peak to the right. Yeah, I know, that would be a nice dream. :-)

Hello Athanasios, being surrounded by cotton-like clouds at the top of a mountain. I have never tasted this feeling, since I have no capacity, nor courage to climb up such altitudes :) But through your photo, I get the sense of this feeling. Really amazing.

hi Hellas
At least for me, this really looks like Switzerland's nicou shots and you have shown the Greece has equally amazing landscape beauty to show the world. Very well captured with such a wonderful scenic view.
I fully agree with you about the passion of life for this one. I dont know if anyone else will like to dispute about the sea vs mountains.
Incredible view.
