A couple of months ago I rode to Lamia to see some old friends. Driving on the highway to Athens one can never suspect that at a stone's throw there can still be some splendid corner untouched yet by development. A serene environment, calm sea and the smell of fresh fish brought in by the local fishing boats. I was lucky enough to deviate from the highway and discover this great beach in the afternoon.

Have a great day and thanks alot for stopping by.

Hi Argiris,
Beautiful scene nicely captured. I'd like to be fishing in a spot like that just enjoying the serenity.
Has some PP been done on this, if so, nice work.

Hello Argiris,
very nice view, but above all, incredibly beautiful mood you managed to create. It seems to be in a different dimension where the tones and colors are very soft and warm and where we can enjoy a glorious sense of peace and serenity. A fine presentation indeed, with excellent quality throughout. I like it a lot!
Thank you and regards,

Ele

Hello Argiris,

I like the soft yet intense tones and the serene late afternoon atmosphere. The scenery is well composed to give a good sense of space and distance. A very moody photo.
Best greetings,
Donato

Hello Argiris,
unfortunately I don't be able to stay in both sites.
So every now and then I come looking at your photos, that become always more beautiful.
Great atmosphere here and great work in PP.
A dear hug, Giorgio.

Hello Argiris,

You are developing a very distictive and beautiful style.
The scene is well depicted in its calm mood, emphasised even more by the vignetting.
The pov is well chosen to take best advantage of the reflections in the water.

Kind regards,
Bev :-)

Amazing as always.How did you do these beautiful views?Congratulation my friend.TFS.Necla.

Ciao Argir


This frame has sharp fine details!
Appealing simplicity, and the color palette is attractive ...
The white light of the boat adds life to the catch!
and adds beautiful reflections in the lake, soft and warm.
Beautiful,

dear Argiris,
this picture looks like an image in nostalgic memory in my feeling.
the brightness of the boats and the peripheral darkness make unreal atmosphere calmly.
it seems to me as a illusionary view on my mind screen, not real view on my eyes.
thank you.

Boa tarde
Amazing the capture , the composition. the mood...a very wonderful image of Earth.
