We are, again, in Edessa and this is the oldest part of the city - "The traditional settlement Varesi"

www.edessacity.gr :
According to the archeological research, the ancient city of Edessa was fortified in two levels. The lower city in the plain Loggos and the Acropolis or the upper town, todays city. The city is known with the name "Gods defended castle of Vodena". After the conquest of the town by the Turks in 1389 the castle was destroyed and the settlement extend now outside the ancient wall creating new neighborhoods inhabited mainly by people of other creeds, while the Christians remain inside and around the nucleus creating three large neighborhoods. In 1944 a large part of this old town quarter was burned down by the Germans. This because the place was the center of the members of national resistance since it was an easy way to escape towards the plain.
Varosi is the only nucleus that has survived of the entire historical center of Edessa.See the Byzantine churches (The Assumption of Virgin Mary, the chapel of St.Peter and Paul)the old Maiden school,the folklore museum.



have a wonderful week,
v
ps.Don't remember exactly all the pp steps but I've tried to achieve an old/tired look (some more yellow, some noise, some texture)

Hi vlad

I like the exaggerated grain effect in the sky. Realistic & natural looking colour with good sharpness & framing. Tfs!

Buna V.
intotdeauna am cautat o foto care sa se preteze la o astfel de prelucrare. Din pacate nu am gasit inca printre foto mele, dar iata ca vad in galeria ta una. Tare fain a iesit.
Numai bine,
Ioana

Hello Vlad.
You gave this picture some special treatment, I see.
Well done, but not sure if that was needed.
Best regards from Jan

Buna Vlad,

Imi place mult compozitia ta, excelent ai prelucrat-o, culorile sunt, de asemenea foarte placute.

Merci pentru comentariul tau

Hi Vlad,
Your PP work creates an unique image. I like the oil painting aspect. Excellent composition playing with the contrasted closer foreground and the infinite horizon. Very nicely done! Annie

I love the sharpness and the beautiful colours. The light was very good here. Sharp detail.
Best wishes,
Achim

Hello vlad,

Loved the warm tones here.
Beautiful view, and composition. TFS

Vandana

That's relax a lot! Is that time go slower there`We have almost the impression! I like that way of showing away! The distance appear with a noise, give a good effect! If you put texture, it's a very delicate one. It appaer like noise but with a pleasent difference!

Almost a canvas effect Vlad. Excellent light and colour, well composed and even with the PP work, very good detail. TFS,
David

Many thanks for your comment on ‘Christmas in the City’

Hi Vlad, good POV.. the contrast between the light and the shadows gives a good feeling of depth.
Well done. Best regards, Daniel
