Blue Lagoon, a photo from Mugla, Aegean

Photographer's Note

Blue Lagoon - Ölüdeniz
Ölüdeniz is a small resort village in the Muğla Province on the South West coast of Turkey on the Aegean Sea to the south and the high, steep sided Babadağ Mountain, 14 km (9 mi) south of Fethiye. The town is a beach resort.
Ölüdeniz remains one of the most photographed beaches on the Mediterranean. It has a secluded sandy bay at the mouth of Ölüdeniz, on a blue lagoon. The lagoon is a national nature reserve and building is strictly prohibited. Ölüdeniz is famous for its shades of turquoise and aquamarine, and is an official blue flag beach, and is frequently rated among the top 5 beaches in the world by Travelers and Tourism Journals alike. The resort is also famous for its paragliding opportunities. It is regarded as one of the best places in the world to paraglide due to its unique panoramic views, and the Babadağ Mountain's exceptional height.

Bonsoir Koksal,
Fantastique paysage côtier, avec la belle plage en croissant de lune. Les couleurs sont excellentes et les personnages en premier plan nous aident à nous situer.

Merhaba Köksal Bey, çok iç açıcı, bir o kadar da ürperti verici bir kompozisyon. Ön tarafta iki kişiyi konumlandırmış olmanız alan derinliğini daha da arttırmış. Herhalde yamaç paraşütçülerinin atladıkları yer buralar.
Elinize sağlık.

Bu müthiş bir manzaraymış. Cennet gibi yerler. aşağıdan biliyoruz ama böyle kuş bakışı helikopterdeymişsiniz gibi, ya da paraşütte, bütün muhteşemliği ortaya dökülmüş. Elinize, gözünüze ve oralara çıktığınız için ayaklarınıza sağlık..
Çağla.
