[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
I have been for 6 days so far in the beautiful prefecture of Trikala. One beautiful town, many picturesque mountainous villages, amazing landscapes and above all, the unique experience and spectacle of Meteora. I am very happy and very proud every time I realize that my little country has countless hidden treasures, thousands of secrets waiting to be revealed. The most important secret is that although Greece is a very popular summer destination and very famous for its islands, it has also a wonderful inland and could be a popular winter destination. I think that our Ministry of Tourism and the Greek Tourism Organisation should have done better in advertising the "winter face" of Greece.

The weather has been bad all these days and it's going to get worse the next few days and though it has hidden from my eyes the beauty of Meteora so far, still it can't hide the beauty of nature.

This photo is taken from the forest, right above the beautiful and historical village of Kastania. It is the same forest, where during WW2, the Nazis hunted like animals and killed tens of helpless women and children, after they had burned the whole village. Maybe that's why red is so present here.

Got no words to describe this feeling in the pit of my tummy, thank you so very much

Hola fiera.

Desde luego, el colorido es 100% tipico otoñal y, por tanto, me encanta ya que es mi estación favorita.

Bonito salpicado de marrones y verdes.

Un saludo, Oscar

Geia Sou Hercules,
splendid and vivid colors and lovely point of view of this wonderful composition, great sharpness, light, detail and clarity. Wonderful composition so pleasant for the eyes ...
Kind Regards.

Hi Hercules,

Ah, nice work. What a soup of autumn colours! Isn't it just a wonderful time of year?! Not just for photography, but the entire mood when walking outside and smelling the leaves. I love it!
Good note. Impressive story about the second world war. It is always amazing to see how on a local level there are so much hidden small atrocities, so much hidden hurt. I mean, the sheer number of 25 million who died during WW2 is much less tacid (since it's not comprehensible, you can never paint a picture of that) than the image you describe of helpless children and women being slaugtered in this forest. Good note.

Greetings,
Dennis

Hi Hercules,

King Regards

Hi Hercules,

Hi Hercules. Nice harmony amongst all these colours. Even the green pines fit in as they accentuate the warm tones. the foggy upper part softens the whole image. Would Kastania be a derivative for chestnut? Regards. Klaudio.

Hello Hercules,
the bouquet of autumnal coloured vegetation is very well captured and framed with the mist included on the top, adding nice contrast and very good balance to the picture. Beautiful work!
Tfs and best wishes.

Olá Hercules,

I really like this mix of Autumnal colours.

Filipe

Hello Hercules, The fog certainly tempers the explosion of autumn colors. Quite impressive. I think the Greek Ministry is doing a fine job. I see a lot of travel ads to Greece lately, and many of my friends either just came back from a trip or are thinking of visiting. Regards, Danilo

Bona tarda Hercules,
gran variedad de tonalidades otoñales, verdes, marrones, anaranjados, es una fiesta de colores!!
Gran profundidad de imagen, buena perspectiva. Sin duda, un paisaje de gran belleza!

Saut, Jordi

Hi Hercules,
I love the patchwork of colour here and the mist gives it a special atmosphere. A lovely almost abstract scene. A sad story to this forest though.

Geia sou Irakli,
I like the autumn of mountain which mixes the red trees and the fir trees.
Bravo for the treatment of colors, it is not easy when the weather is dark.
The fog which becomes more and more thick forms a beautiful gradation.
Your note is very interesting (and poetics also). Regrettably, a village in France knew the same dramatic story... It is necessary to hope that Europe will succeed in preventing that such horrors reproduce.

Γεια σου Ηρακλή,
It is an amazing autumnal vieuw, despite the fog and bad weather. You are right: Greece has so much various treasures than sand beaches or summer vacations villages. The beauty of the mountains must be preserved against those who want easy money and who don't hesitate to destroy the life.
Thanks also for the historical information about Kastania. I did not know it. Last winter, I visited Kalavrita (Peloponissos) wich was also the target of the Nazi terror. I think there are many villages in Greece who were affected by Nazi persecutions and massacres and it is important to keep this memory alive.
Χαιρετώ,
Κατερίνα

kalimera dear hercules
wonderful nature picture and wonderful colours.well done.
best regards.

Hello Hercules,
Yes it's autumn, but it's their life and specially their summer when we look at those beautiful colours.
And what a mix you got here, and to help you more, you had this light mist covering the top of the scene which enhances even more the colours and great mood of this photo.
This is THE autumn photo.
Cheers.
Paulo

Magnificent autumn colors. I love the mist in the back. Very pleasant one.

Beautiful forest. The light is great and the colours very soft. There's such a wonderful atmosphere in this image. Beautiful.
Best wishes,

A great autumnal palette which contrasts nicely with the green fir trees. I also like the fog adding a good deal of atmosphere.

Ηρακλή καλησπέρα,
όντως είναι μία πανδαισία εξαιρετικών Φθινοπωρινών χρωμάτων και φωτός.Η καθαρότητα στο εμπρός μέρος της φωτογραφίας σε συνδιασμό με την ομίχλη που έχει πέσει στο πίσω μέρος, κάνει τον συνδιασμό τόσο εντυπωσιακό.Τα χρώματα της φύσης είναι ανυπέρβλητα και τόσο συναρπαστικά.Το γεμάτο αυτό κάδρο είναι η καλύτερη επιλογή.Μπράβο

Σε χαιρετώ,Δάνος

Hola Hercules,
un precioso paisaje otoñal con sus colores rojos destacando por encima de los verdes. Has captado fenomenalmente la atmosfera húmeda que había en el lugar.

Hola Hercules.
Muy bonita escena de otoño con los diferentes colores de las hojas produciendo un efecto como si fuera una alfombra, la presencia de la niebla ocultando un poco los coloridos arboles esta estupenda. Me gusta mucho esta foto tomada desde un alto POV.
Felicitaciones.
Abrazos.

Hi Hercules
Wow, great colour forest dissapearing in the fog. Excellent capture.
Regards

Hello Hercules,
I like much these autumn colors, this forest is wonderful with these different tones, good capture.
Regards

Hi Hercules,

Great autumn colours here! Orange, yellow, golden tones..green, dark green it's all present in a stunning mixture of colours. The details is good, well, the POV provides a good overview and the myst finishes the photo adding some mood to all the colour. Excellent saturation, bright colours and detail :)
Have a nice weekend.

The colors and the wood are lovely...
The mist creates mystery and mood...
The 2-parts compo works very well and the general atmosphere is strong. Very well done.

Kalimera Hercules.

Bueno, lo primero decir que la luz y la composición, tópicos donde los haya, me gustan.
Así, una vez dicho esto, miraré de ir en diciembre a Atenas, pero sería una visita breve.
Aunque tanto si es que sí como si es que no, cuando pueda coger vacaciones (eso es dando por supuesto que me renuevan) me quiero ir también para allá.

Ta leme, file mou.

Hello,Hercules,
It's a very nice capture of autumnal colour explosion! I'm speechless with admiration.Together with the fog in the background it makes a splendid compo.
Bravo!
TFS, neighbour.
Nice WE

Ε βέβαια, πως να μην κάνεις φωτογραφία από τέτοια θέαμα;
Εκπληκτικά χρώματα Ηρακλή. Σαν ζωγραφικός πίνακας που ο ζωγράφος χρησιμοποίησε όλα τα χρώματα που του περίσσεψαν.
Τελικά η φύση είναι αξεπέραστη. Το μόνο που χρειάζεται είναι ένα έμπειρο, ευαίσθητο μάτι που να βλέπει αυτή την τελειότητα, και εσύ το έχεις.
Χαιρετώ
Κώστας

How beautiful. like a painting!
The flares of fog add something mysterious to this photo.
