*Yellow Boat* Photo

Photographer’s Note

Koycegiz-Dalyan

Possessing the most special gifts of nature and history, Köycegiz stands beside the same named lake at the tip of which touches the Mediterranean. Now a nature and wild life preserve, this site is a real paradise with its rare and beautiful setting, and with a history going back to 3500 BC. It is possible to cruise over the natural labyrinth - like channel, walled with reeds, that link the sea and Lake of Köycegiz, which is described as "smooth as glass" till noon and suitable for wind-surfing in the afternoon; it contains almost every kind of seafood including carp and crab. Dalyan can be reached at the end of a road decorated with scented frankincense trees. The Dalyan Delta is a unique site, lying peacefully with its golden beach. Sea turtles of Caretta Caretta, and blue crabs live here making the area more attractive.

On the other side of the channel is the marvelous view of the ancient city Caunos, which was situated on the border between Caria and Lycia and was an important sea-port. The first sight here is the unique and fascinating tombs carved into the rock and overlooking the waterway. Also of interest in this district is the acropolis lying a little inland, together with a Roman temple, antique theatre, Ibrab and Susandaa castles.

The Dalyan region is not the last site in Köycegiz to offer natural beauty. The Gulf of Göcek, with its many bays facing numerous islets is another spot. Holding a lovely marina, it constitutes a perfect center for sailing, and there are also the ruins of the ancient city of Arymaxa, furnishing a different scenery.

Very beautiful, Cuneyt! Realy "gold over blue".
I notice just one minor flaw: the noisy grain on the water.

Hi Cuneyt,
I like your info and hi to Alpher too.
And dear friend, the shot is overexposed and the sky is too bright.
Put your hand on yur heart and ask yourself sincerely, is the boat placed in the right place?
Its just a flat view and lacks the indepth....I am wriiting to yu bcause of your info.
The strength in your shot lies in the cool reflection of the boat.
Nevertheless being a new visitor I must maintain dignity by giving you full marks.
St take care in the future.
Rajeev

My eyes were attracted by the distorted reflections!
Good colour contrast as the yellow and blue works well together...
Well framed image, presented in a fine composition!
