[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
This is a famous sight of my hometown, Chalkis called "The house with the Statues" cause it has 4 red statues at it's top.

At this time, this building, is holding "Lykeio Ellinidon", a club relative to the greek folklorists containing a very active part of classic dances (i.e. Tsamikos, Kalamatianos, Balos etc).

Also holding the Museum of Skalkota and the Foundation of Evian Studies.

This fine neoclassic building has a wired and sad story. You can read it in this photo of mine, posted at TE. Also, you can see a zoomed photo of the statues here.

Nice sharpness and color saturation. The sky blue is fantastic!
I like the perspective. Would like to see some more building... may be from an ant's view point ;)

Very nice capture of a lovely building with great saturated colors, a beautiful blue sky and very good detail. Well done!

That sure is a well-ornamented balcony, Μπάμπη. It's not easy to shoot buildings like this in narrow streets, but you managed. I love the soft, warm colours in this shot - and the blue hues, of course. TFS.

Nice angle, but the colors look a bit overprocessed. Aside from that, good capture.
