Serenity, a photo from Ioannina, Epirus

Photographer's Note

Drakolimni resides at an altitude of 2050m above sea level, on the mountain range of Tymfi, in Vikos–Aoös National Park. It is overlooked by the nearby peaks of Ploskos (Greek: Πλόσκος) and Astraka (Greek: Αστράκα). At 5 hours walking distance from the village of Papigo, the lake is a popular trekking destination in the Vikos–Aoös National Park. The lake is inhabited by a species of alpine newt, called drakakia by the locals (Greek: Δρακάκια) and, according to local sources, the newts' resemblance to small dragons gives the lake its distinctive name.

Bonjour Athanasios,

J'aime vraiment beaucoup cette composition. Elle a quelque chose de très spécial et c'est original surtout. Ce sont les reflets qui font la différence.

Amicalement

Hello Athanasios,

The hill and peaks make a distinctive, zig-zag separation line between the land and the sky which is unusual and, therefore, very attractive. I love how it is repeated, in reverse, in the water!
The clarity is exceptional, a slight underexposure giving rich colours.

My warm regards,
Bev :-)

Καλησπέρα Αθανάσιε,
μια υπέροχη εικόνα με μεγάλο φυσικό αλλά και γραφιστικό ενδιαφέρον χάρη στις αδρές και σαφείς γραμμές της σύνθεσής σου, στις πολύ ενδιαφέρουσες υφές και στα υποβλητικά, φυσικά χρώματα. Ένα τοπίο μοναδικής ομορφιάς. Συγχαρητήρια και ευχαριστώ!
Να είσαι καλά, καλή σου νύχτα,
Ουρανία

Hello Athanasios

Not the kind of scene we easily associate with Greece, but that makes the post even more worthwhile. Great shot, fine natural colours and good reflections.

Benny
