Kaş Harbour, a photo from Antalya, Mediterranean

Photographer's Note

Kaş is an attractive seaside town about half way between Fethiye and Antalya. Here is the main harbour although there is a secondary harbour a few kilometres away for permanent and semi permanent yachts. From here, it is possible to get a boat to Kastellorizo in Greece. Many of the inter Fetehiye to Olympus 'gulets' or blue cruises, also dock here to stock up on vegetables and snacks. There are also local boats to sandy beaches 3-5 km away. Kaş is pronounced as 'cash'. I have added a workshop showing the secondary harbour.

Hello Chris,

This is a scene where we immediately want to be there! The deep blue sea, backed by the greenery on the hills is very naturally attractive.
I like how you have anchored the f/g with the nicely angled row of moored boats. Not only do they look attractive in their own right but reveal twinkling reflections from the sea, on their hulls.

My warm regards,
Bev :-)

Pozdrav.

Lepi camci i arhitektura na obali, dobro pokazano sa lepim bojama, kontrastom, persepktivom i dobrim tekstom.
Lepa fotografija i secanje.
Zelim vam lepo popodne, sve najbolje.

Bonjour Chris,

La composition est bien divisée, le ciel. la ville et le port. La prise de vue permet de voir les détails des montagnes, des immeubles et des bateaux. J'apprécie les différentes teintes de couleurs de l'eau. Bonne journée.

Hi Chris
Lovely blues in this image and complemented so well by the greens.

Hello Chris,
The small boats provide a good foreground that create a holiday atmosphere, but it's mainly the green hill full of rather touristy buildings that capture my attention. But I am actually more keen on the wide view of the WS. The colours of the sea and the light reflected in it have a beautiful clarity and the colours actually look more natural and unprocessed than in the main photo.
Best regards,
Gert

Hello Chris,
I visited Kaş in 1983. The only accommodation options at the time were rooms rented out by private individuals. Simple yet charming. No yacht harbour then.
I do remember an ancient theatre from where there were great views of the coast.
Later Kaş has undergone a metamorphosis.
Beautiful green hills up to the blue Mediterranean.
The cove where the marina is located reminds me a bit of a fjord. A warm fjord then.
Two splendid pictures that make you dream of summer.
Best regards, Paul

Hello Chris,
The green and blue colours are really beautiful and very well-saturated. It is a great view across the water and the small boats are very well included in the foreground as well.

Hi Chris,
very attractive visually harbour scene. There is so much color here. Nicely aligned boats in the foreground. I like the green water underneath the boats.
Excellent capture,
M

chris

we have this kind of sky only in the very cold and dry days of winter. I liked the use of the boats in FG with the urban and natural landscape mixed ahead.

take care

Hello Chris,
I was thinking that Kaş looks greener than I remember it. I looked at the date it was taken and realized this was in May, which explains the fresh greenery. We usually went down to the Mediterranean in September when everything looks yellow.
