It is the same post from TE but specially treated with a great filter from Xero that applies a smooth texture to it.


This is the main square of Makrinitsa. A splendid view of the Pagasitikos Gulf and Volos. On the left there's Postaria and right across the mountains of the Almiros area. On the right you can see the Monument of the Unknown Soldier and the GReek colors flying on our National day.

Makrinitsa
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Makrinitsa (Greek: Μακρινίτσα) is the balcony of Mt.Pelion which is its nickname, 5 km NE of Volos, Magnesia, Greece. One of the most characteristic traditional settlements, full of mansions and houses that look like hanging ornaments on the green mountain side and are colorful but not as Portaria. It sits of a slope of the Pelion range and another mountaintop to the east with forests. The square with age-old trees lends a panoramic view of Volos and the Pagasetic Gulf. In one of the traditional coffee houses there is a big fresco by Theofilos. The picturesque cobbled paths of Makrinitsa are scattered with traditional water fountains. Makrynitsa has a school, a lyceum, a church, a post office and a square (plateia) with few tall trees.

(There's no school anymore as the population has irreversibly dwindled, due to different policies that still deprive the Greek country side from its human resources)

Hello Argiris,
This is a very interesting and old looking tree. There is beautiful warm lighting and the color tones are great.
Nice scene and shot.

Hi Argiris
exellent composing here , nice use of the repetition of the chairs and tables. And the tree adds a kind of non conformity to the shot.

hi Argiris,
beautiful and great tree.It may be more beautiful in spring.Very good compo my friend.Congratulations.Necla.:)later.

Congratulations Argiris!

100 uploads - quite a lot of work and hopefully a lot of fun as well. I love the filter effect on this picture, so I'm glad to see the TL version - it enhances the already very appealing atmosphere here.
You paint a very pretty picture in your note as well - age old trees - cobble stones and sure enough the tourist season is not started yet, but this would be a time I would prefer to visit this place. Thanks for doing it for me!

Congrats with #100, Argiris... it's a beauty.
The filter effect reminds me a bit of the diffuse glow filter, but I think it also warms the colour tones. Anyway, it sure is a nice effect.
Good compo too, you used a nice PoV here. The landscape in the distance (a third layer, as it were) is a nice bonus.
TFS

Hello Argiris. You did very well here capturing this tree with beautiful canopy with rows of dining tables in perspective. Pleasant warm colors and nicely framed. Regards. Jusni

Hello Argis,
This is beautiful.
Those trees looks so wonderful.
Love the POV. TFS
