snowfall 1, a photo from Magnisia, Thessaly

Photographer's Note

snowfall
The weather was too cold today
and the snow covered everything
at my city Volos...But the poor seagulls
were searching for food....
May be they do not find fish enough
and they approach people in order
to feed them!!!!nice idea!!!!

Hello Costantino,
The seagulls are standing like the pieces on a chessboard.
Fantastic foreground.
Not as much snow as in your previous photos, but the mountains in the background also got snowfall.
Best regards, Paul

Ciao Costantino,la neve è arrivata anche a Volos, cosi' non hai bisogno di spostarti sulle alture per vederla, foto stupenda, col gruppo di gabbiani infreddoliti e le colline innevate sullo sfondo! Buona serata,Luciano

Hello Costantino,
In Sweden the fire brigade is sometimes asked to rescue swans and ducks who got stuck in the ice. I hope these seagulls were just standing here of their own free will and would not have to wait for warmer weather to melt the ice. They provided you with a marvellous foreground, almost surrealistic.
Best regards,
Gert

Hi Costantino,

The reflections on the water are assets to the composition. The point of view is showing the details of the seagulls and of the mountain in the background. Is it normal to have snow in Volos? Have a nice day.

Hello Costantino,
The seagulls do not look too happy about the cold temperature. I have heard Istanbul had debilitating snowfall, too.

Hi Constantino
Seagulls chasing people for food is a world wide phenomenon. A read this morning that Athens has also had massive snowfalls. A good very cold day photo.
cheers
Ian

Hello Costantino
A beautiful view of these seabirds. You got a good combination. You displayed it well.
Thanks for sharing

Kalispera Costantino,
We usually expect same weather pattern normally two days after it passes Greece - and indeed, tomorrow we will have a storm over Israel, probably with snow in the high mountains.
Beautiful capture as the seagulls stood around the wet platform with its reflection catching first sight.
My best regards,
Ike

Hi Costantino,
Lovely winter scene here. The wet pavement provided the chance to capture the reflections of the seagulls. They look as if they were standing on the surface of the water.
The snow has completely transformed your town but I can see the recognizable yellow building in the distance.
Very well seen and captured,
M

Hello Costantino, What the weather anomalies, there are a lot of snow in Greece, I have read about the disaster in Athens, Nice view of these seagulls on the wet sand or maybe ice. Attractive reflections. How different as usual your city Volos looks in this winter picture.

Best regards Malgo

Hello Costantino,

Almost a b&w image in the fg. Amazing repetition of the semi frozen seagulls! Good sharpness and nice reflections of the birds in the ice. Tfs!

Hello dear Costantino.
A splendid photo that transmits the whole atmosphere of winter to us, curious the image of the perched seagulls that seem to be cold, magnifies the vision of the city and the snowy mountain.
Photo very well done. I like it
Enjoy a good day.
Very best regards.
Luis.
