Eighth post from Mesolonghi. "Gaita" is how they call these beautiful traditional boats of the lagoon of Mesolonghi. Fishing is one of the most important financial resourses of the region. Here's some more info that I "fished" in here :

"The main attraction of the region is of course the lagoon. It is divided in three different parts, the lagoons of Klesova, Mesologi and Etoliko. This whole marine region, along with the cultivable beaches that surround it, is a very important biotope. The small islands that are hidden inside the lagoon are Klesova, Vasiladi, Ae-Sostis, Shenias, Prokopanestos, Tholi, Paleopotamos, Dolmas and Poros, uninhabited small islands that played an important role during the liberating fight of the Greeks. On these islands there are vivariums that produce the famous fishes of Mesologi. You can visit all these vivariums in a day with a motorboat. The lagoon covers an area of 131 km2. Its production reaches 800.000 kilos of fish, 100.000 kilos of eel and 1.500 kilos of roe. The lagoon is also the best place for a good walk, especially during sunset, when the colors of its water take you to exotic places."

Wow!

Kinda lost for words here, the quality is simply superb. What can I say?

The golden colours are wonderful, the relection of the boat is sublime.

Just a great shot and a good note as well - excellent all round.

Lovely colours for this picture: the reflections of light and colour in the lake are stunning as well as the colours on the clouds and in the sky. The old boat is reflecting well on the water and is well placed.

Hi Hercules. The Delacroix of TE, judging by the colours you are able to capture. Elegant composition, stunning light and colours. regards. Klaudio.

Hello Hercules ! Beautiful strong evening colors ... this wonderful old boat - serving as your foreground - gives the additional "extra". Sometimes you wish that time stands a little still and we would have more of these lovely boats on our lakes and oceans (am I old-fashioned maybe?). Excellent photo. Barbara.

Excellent. Polarizer has increased contrast and softened colours.
Davide

Magic light and beautiful composition, your use of this boat in the foreground is interesting, compliments, excellent image.
Ciao

Great, is all that I can suggest. A photographer's dream. The sunset is great or must be great as the photo sugests. I wish to give more than two points. It hast to be Nile river.

Hola Hercules,
estas últimas fotos de tu serie son impresionantes por su luz y sus colores de tonos preciosos.
Aquí los tonos naranja del sol bajo crean también un gran efecto a la vista, muy atractivo y cálido, y la iluminación nos regala esas hermosas siluetas de las montañas y las nubes del fondo de la imagen.
Excelente trabajo, amigo mío.
Un abrazo,

Hello Irakli,
This one is, imho, your greatest photo ever. Touching are the colors, awesome is the compo. Perfect proportions for my eye. Light, clouds, breeze on the water's surface, are so gently captured gems of nature. Tent on the boat is also a very interesting detail.
Sharpness is RAW sharpness again. This is perfetto.

Hello Hercules,
In opposite to me you've been posting hard these days :) I saw many pearls but I had to come to this one as this is just brilliant.
Love the mood of this photo, its colours, light are so nice. The lonely boat, the reflection on water, the smooth water ripples, the smooth view of the mountains behind everything interacting so well to create this 'pearl'.
Well done indeed.
Cheers.

Hello Hercules,
I can only join the enthusiastic chorus of admirers of this photo. It is quite simply one f the most beautifuly sunset shots I've seen — composed and exposed to perfection. The definition and colors work in concert to make this a spectacular picture.

Thank you for the gracious note you wrote about "fathers and sons" — I suspect you father is very proud of you.

Warm regards,

this is more like one of your painting. The colours of sky and of the water are marvelous. The boat is well placed and makes your picture great.

Hi Hercules, I saw this one on the trekearth home page. Not surprised to see your name beneath it. I would be interested to know how you went about taking this photo. Do you just carry your camera around with you all the time and wait for the moment? Did you plan this one and return to the scene the next day? How much time did you spend on software editing? The end product is beautiful anyway...

Mesolonghi remember me Henry Miller ... love your picture where a precious light is slowly ablazing this graceful boat and the sea ...

Very, very beautiful. Incrediable shimmering glow!

Hi Hercules,
I missed this masterpiece as I was a new member then. It's incredibly beautiful. No need to say much. Congrats.

Hello Hercules
Ante todo debo denunciar que no eres de éste mundo, es imposible que un mortal haga tantas fotos tan bellas cómo esta. Los colores rojizos y dorados del crepúsculo hacen de ésta fotografía una joya.
Que bueno eres, amigo!

This one really took my breathe away! WOW!! Definitely one of my favorites . TFS

Γειά σου Ηρακλή!
Με το λινκ σου έμαθα για την εικόνα σου αυτή που με γοήτευσε! Ομολογουμένως έχει κάτι το ξεχωριστό
σε παραπέμπει σε άλλους χώρους, ταπεινά υποκλείνομαι!

Hi dear Hercules,

PS : Your are right about critics on my last shot. I know and I'll care next time. Thanks a lot....

Καλά, τι να λέμε τώρα. Δεν βρίσκω λόγια. Επίσης διαφωνώ με τον Βαγγέλη: δεν επ' ουδενί πρωτομάστορας. Είσαι καθαρόαιμος αρχιμάστορας.

Και τυχερός. Ξέρεις τι θα πει να σε πληρώνουν για να φωτογραίζεις; (Εκτός των μυστηρίων της εκκλησίας που φωτογραφίζω εγώ) :)
