Hoping that nature stays happy in the years to come! Beautiful wintery photograph! Very good tight framing to avoid the "burning" of too much white!!! Thank you for sharing! ΦΙΛΙΚΑ Στέλλα

Hi Athanasios
I can never resist a stone bridge. This is a nice composition with a mixture of textures in both the bridge and the snow.

Μια υπέροχη, χειμωνιάτικη φωτογραφία, κάνει τις ευχές σου φίλε Θανάση, ακόμα πιο ωραίες.
Η πολύ καλή η χρωματική απόδοση του χιονιού αλλά και το προσεγμένο "καντράρισμα¨ σου, έδωσαν ένα πραγματικά όμορφο αποτέλεσμα.
Σου εύχομαι σε εσένα και την οικογένεια σου ο καινούργιος χρόνος να σας φέρει μόνο υγεία, χαρά και ευτυχία.
Κώστας

Hi Athanasios,

Beautiful still winter .. you can hear the silence of this place broken by the gentle water .. the bridge leads me to reflect on the age of this place .. the timelessness of your scene .. great work with these colors .. I appreciate the white and well controlled snow .. very nice ... take care, John

Γειά σου Athanasios,
It's a beautiful image of Winter, very nicely composed, with the little stretch of the stream placed diagonally helping the eye being lead to the picturesque stone bridge, the branches doing a natural frame and the snowed rock on the right giving a good balance.
Χαιρετισμούς, José

AiresSantos (56155) 2009-01-07 23:33

This one is absolutely fabulous and so quaint. i love the snow and the textures, those hues are captured so well as well. Nice composition Athanasios

cam (9043) 2009-01-11 17:31

Hi Athanasios
A judicious choice for the passage of one year to the other,using the bridge, whose role is to help the passage from one side to the other, while allowing the passage of the water.
A good presentation
Have a good 2009
Charles

Hey Athanasios,

A beautiful, traditional bridge in midst of lovely, albeit dead nature, very harmonic. A happy 2k9 to you too.

Best regards.

Θανάση καλημέρα,
πολύ ωραίο το Χειμωνιάτικο σκηνικό με την αψιδωτή γέφυρα του Ασπροποτάμου να είναι περιτριγυρισμένη από χιόνια.Μου θυμίζει φωτογραφία παλιού ημερολογίου, που ξεκίναγε με μια παρόμοια φωτογραφία.

Καλό Σαββατοκύριακο,Δάνος

Hello Athanasios,
Christmas like feel to this photo especially with the pure white of the snow. Nice natural colors and great framing with the bare twigs. Good to see this for Greece is not often associated with snowfall and high wild country in the popular imagination. Regards. Latiff.

Hi A,
nice this old bridge taken with snow, well framed and beautiful contrast and colours for the stones.

s_lush (16602) 2009-01-22 1:14

Hi Athanasios,
It is nice to see that in warm Greece there are such beautiful winter scenes with snow. The "happy nature" has been captured perfectly well, with unbelievable depth of focus and very good light and color management. Thanks for the post! Both the picture and the note are very interesting.
Best regards,
Sergiy
