Red Flowers & Green Waterweed, a photo from Sarande, South

Photographer's Note

An outdoor cafe at the 'blue eye' spring (Syri i Kaltër) which is 200 metres upstream from here. The dissolved minerals in the water encourage the growth of algae and water weed, but the pool is clear of nearly all such weed further upstream. Even on a hot summer's day the water is a brisk 10c.

Chris, that restaurant terrace enjoys a scenic view on the pond formed by the spring. The red flowers are well included in the fg, they go together with the different green hues. The water is invaded by a lot of algas. Fine colors, good sharpness, regards.

Hello Chris,
I was in Sarande but only in the town, not here. This looks much nicer than the too rapidly growing touristy town. The blue pavilion stands out among all these green tones, among which the algae forms a nicely patterned carpet. The red flowers were well included as a frame.
Best regards,
Gert

Hello Chris,
A wonderful view of the calm lake and the vegetation around it, which has got lots of vivid and appealing green tones. The red flowers add a nice contrast, and for the same reason it was an excellent choice to paint the cafe blue. Well captured and composed.

Hi Chris,not only the most famous beach of Albania there as i can see,a wonderful view of this incredible place,it's a pity that they built a bar in this natural scenery,but this is the law of business. Perfect capture with bright colors and fine details as usual. Have a nice weekend and thanks,Luciano

Hello Chris, the bright red flowers 'pop' out from the screen as they are surrounded by the various shades of green. And the blue balcony also attracts the eyes. Just three colours that have created quite a visual impact.
Thanks for sharing, kind regards Jean.

Un endroit pour profiter de la nature. La prise de vue permet de voir les détails des arbres et des fleurs. La qualité de la lumière embellit les couleurs de l'image. Bonne soirée.

Hi Chris
Doesn't look like water to swim in. A good photo showing off the algae.
How are the fires up your way? We've without smoke the last few days but have had a wall of smoke just to the north (see my photo from yesterday).
cheers
Ian

Bonjour, cher Chris,
Et dire que cela existe, j'ouvre bien grand les yeux, et oui, tout est vrai, ce n'est pas un décor.
La beauté des lieux est magnifiquement mise en valeur.
Amitiés.
Philippe

Hello Chris, I was somewhere near this place on my way from Sarande to Gjirocaster. It looks charming here with the small cafe above the water and geranium flowers framing from below. Lovely view of the water.

KInd regards MAlgo

Hello Chris,
Wonderful the multi-colors scene over the river area, mostly in many tones of green.
The blue painted balcony above water is enliven by the people sitting in a most attractive spot.
Good evening,
