The image of the golden buildings standing out against a threatening sky captures an idea of approaching storm. The illumination of the subject is indeed magical.

Hi Thomas,

Quite a lot of higher appartment blocks. Not really that attractive all those appartments, but I guess Thessaloniki has more to offer. And then again, those blocks of concrete reflect the sunlight pretty nicely! ;-)
Thanks for sharing!

Like a golden dagger stabbed in the heart of Aegean...
Do you know how much this city resembles our Izmir?
One could never guess how those walls of concrete would give an impenetrateable outlook to the cities...
Very impressive light tone in those grey.
Congrats file mou,

Υπέροχη "χρυσή" άποψη της πανέμορφης Θεσσα/κης!Πετυχημένη και η κατανομή δίνοντας περισσότερο "χώρο" στην θάλασσα δίνοντας έτσι το απαραίτητο βάθος στην φωτό.

Hi Thomas,
That one is all about light. Deep golden sunshine hitting mass of buildings at the seaside. And dark clouds giving contrast. Minimalist composition fits well with this.

Γεια σου Θωμά!

Μια από τις πρώτες φωτογραφίες σου που είδα εδώ στο ΤΕ, μια από αυτές που μου προκάλεσαν ιδιαίτερη εντυπωση και μου έδειξαν ευθύς-εξαρχής πόσο σπουδαίος φωτογράφος είσαι ήταν μια πολύ παρόμοια (ή μήπως ίδια) φωτογραφία. Τα σχόλια είναι περιττά για την πιο ομορφη φωτογραφία της Θεσσαλονίκης που έχω δει! Συγχαρητήρια!

Hi Thomas, It is certainly a beautiful place to visit Greece. Next time i'd like to go north to see this area you show today. Glassy water is very good to look at. Many people have a great view in this area by the look of this. TFS. Murray.

Great work with the exposure, you have obtained a good result with the light and the colors, specially these golden tones on the architecture in the shore, which shines and contrasts with the gray tones of the sea and of the sky.
Great composition, strong, balanced and with a lot of graphical harmony.
