Once upon a time....

Argos was Odysseus' faithful dog.
He waited for his master's return to Ithaca for over twenty years while most people presumed that Odysseus was dead. He was the first to recognize the King returning from the Trojan War, even though Odysseus was disguised as a beggar to discover what was going on in his palace during his absence.

It was said that as soon as Argos recognized his master, he dropped his ears and did his best to wag his tail. Having fulfilled his destiny of faith by laying his eyes upon his master once more, he released a final whimper and died.

Excerpt from the Odyssey

"...As they were thus talking, a dog that had been lying asleep raised his head and pricked up his ears. This was Argos, whom Odysseus had bred before setting out for Troy, but he had never had any enjoyment from him. In the old days he used to be taken out by the young men when they went hunting wild goats, or deer, or hares, but now that his master was gone he was lying neglected on the heaps of mule and cow dung that lay in front of the stable doors till the men should come and draw it away to manure the great close; and he was full of fleas. As soon as he saw Odysseus standing there, he dropped his ears and wagged his tail, but he could not get close up to his master. When Odysseus saw the dog on the other side of the yard, dashed a tear from his eyes without Eumaeus seeing it..."

Con el título de Once upon a time... no puedo dejar de imaginarme la foto con música del maestro Morricone de fondo.
Kalispera Markos.
Sencilla pero buena foto.
Esta imagen tiene algo de poético que me gusta mucho.

Un saludo.

A very nice shot, Markos. I like the soft colors of the ocean and the sky, thay look like a painting. Placing of the dog in the right third is good for the composition. I have only one remark - you forgot to level the horizon. See my WS.

Bravo Marcos, nice, great shot, and also the notice is great and usufull. -:)
Με εντυπωσιάζει αυτή η εικόνα, ο σκύλος είναι πανέμορφος.

I really like the shot, the colours, the DOG - LOVELY!!!! Nice timing!

Γειά σου Μάρκο

Πολλή όμορφη σκηνή με τον σκύλο τοποθετημένο εκεί που πρέπει. Μου αρέσουν οι τόνοι του κίτρινου και ο μελαγχολικός ουρανός. Ωστόσο θα ήθελα τα χρώματα λιγάκι πιο ζωντανά και περισσότερο sharpness. Ετοίμασα ένα workshop. Τσέκαρέ το!

Hola Markos.

Esta es una de esas fotos melancólicas. Creo que funcionaría bien ahora en verano con el mensaje típico de "No le abandones. El no lo haría"....

Lo dicho, un bonito toque melancólico.

Un saludo, Oscar

Hola markos

Me gusta mucho este tiro, la planta del perro es genial en un marco muy bello.
Saludos
Sergio

Γεια σου Μάρκο
Πολύ ωραία προσομοίωση της φωτογραφίας σου με τη μυθολογία μας. Σημειωτέον οτι τελικά η μυθολογίες μας έχουν πολλά ιστορικά στοιχεία και πλησιάζουν να είναι ιστορικά βιβλία...
Να σαι καλά φίλε τα λέμε..
