A house on the mountain Photo

Photographer’s Note

This is a photo of a Skrapari house on Tomorri Mountain. I am not sure what this house is used for now but the slate roof is a very good example of the way people in this region roof their houses. There is a deep gorge between the house and the mountain opposite which is called the Ramies Mountain but also the "Tea Mountain" as many people climb up there to collect a type of herb which is then drank as tea.(The scientific name is Sideritis syriaca) Same herb is use in Greece and other Balkan countries as tea. In early summer the whole mountain is just a carpet of flowers.

Bonjour Aleks.
Cette composition très simple est aussi originale que belle. La maison verte ressort bien sur la montagne claire.
Amical salut !

HEllo Aleks, i realy like the idea of ths composition using well the olorful home and the almost grey mountain. Technaly there are some things to improve at my opinion: the mountain is a bit overexposed maybe you still can correct it by balancing the highlights. I would like to see a bit more space on de left side wothout cuting the roof. But still a very intersting post and note.
Best regards
KIKs
