Rain is coming ., a photo from Kyrenia, West

Photographer's Note

Korkut arkadaşım özlemiştir. buraları arada bir hatırlatmakta yarar var.

İyi akşamlar.
Burak

Girne-Kyrenia.
---------------------
Situated on the north coast of Cyprus, Kyrenia, with its 6,000 year long history, unique remains of countless civilisations, miles of natural beaches, calm sea, and mild climate is an idyllic Mediterranean town.
Bounded to the north by the sea and to the south by the greenery of the Besparmak (Fivefinger) Mountain range, it offers the most magnificent scenery on the island.
Kyrenia's charming and tiny harbour, full of yachts and fishing boats, is framed by the colossal hulk of its Crusader castle. With the backdrop of the jagged mountains behind and the calm sparkling sea in front, the harbour has an intoxicatingly serene atmosphere.
Kyrenia is an easy place to while away any time of the day... exploring shops, markets and local cafés in late morning, strolling in the narrow cobbled alleys behind the harbour in the afternoon, or stepping out for a brisk walk along the promenade and sea wall in the evening.
The beautiful harbour is dominated by the majestic Kyrenia Castle which houses a museum containing the remains of an ancient ship which was salvaged from the sea.
Overlooking the entrance to the harbour is Kyrenia Castle. Dating from the time of the Byzantines, its massive defences surround a complex mixture of building styles from centuries before and it is likely that there was a Roman fort here originally. Subsequently enlarged and strengthened by the Lusignans and then the Venetians, the castle is now home to many historical artefacts and is the current resting-place of the world's oldest shipwreck.
As the sun sets, Kyrenia harbour again becomes the focus of activity as the locals take their evening stroll and the cafés and bistros that face the sea prepare for their nightly trade. Crisp white linen and small vases of local flowers are lovingly arranged on tabletops to welcome the evening's guests to wine and dine in the cooling breeze.
There are several mosques and churches to see in the town, well worth a visit.
Just a few minutes drive away, lies the fairy-tale castle of St.Hilarion. Rumoured to be the original inspiration for Walt Disney's 'Sleeping Beauty', St Hilarion was built during the crusades and those intrepid enough to brave the long walk to its battlements will be rewarded with stunning views of Kyrenia and the whole of the island's northern coastline..

Bonsoir, mon ami Burak,
Le ciel ne peut pas être toujours bleu ! c'est d'ailleurs sa très grande force, car c'est un véritable peintre il trouve des couleurs qu'un peintre ne peut exprimer !
Belle présentation de ces voiliers au port où les eaux calmes reproduisent la jolie couleur du ciel.
Amitiés.
Philippe

Hello Burak,

A well composed weather report..!
No doubt, it is likely those clouds contain some rain hehehe...
Good maritime atmosphere, fine details in the boats and the scene is well framed!

Greetings,

Bonjour Burak,
le moment sans doute le mieux choisi pour illustrer cette pluis qui arrive et ce ciel inquiétant. Un dégradé du ciel amical vers le ciel menaçant. Et malgré tout, de belles lumières au sol.
Parfait cadrage.
Regards.
Daniel.

merhaba burak abi

bende askere gitmeden önce gitmiştim kıbrısa ve fena bi yağmura yakalanmıştım. o yüzden pek gezip fotoğraf çekememiştim...
burayı hatırlıyorum bende burayı farklı açılardan çekmiştim...
ellerine sağlık

özlemez miyim, burnumda tütüyor... havadaki okaliptüs, çam ve yasemin kokusu, cır cır böceklerinin gürültüsü, sıcağı, denizi, yemesi içmesi herşeyiyle çok özledim... hem kuzeyi hem güneyi söylemesi ayıp... gideceğim günü iple çekiyorum...

(en az özlediğim yeri de girne limanı nedense... çok yozlaştığı için herhalde...)

Hello Burak:

An image with a strong compositional power. The elements in the composition is very balanced, in turn, warm hues are well established.

Good frame and perfect management of light.

Fine photo Burak,

I like the intense atmosphere given by the clouds and the peculiar light. Good sense of perspective and of course an interesting subject.
Best regards,
Donato

Philippe (11836) 2009-06-13 13:44

Merhaba, Burak. A very good foreground with the boat pointing to the tower on the right. It also offers good contrast with the water. The masts stand out well against the sky. Good colours and contrast.
Have a nice weekend,
Philippe

Kıbrıs'ı görmedim ama denizi bende özledim doğrusu.
Üstelik deniz kenarına gitmeme bir buçuk ay zaman var, bir terslik olmazsa.
Selamlar. Uğur

Urs (14082) 2009-06-13 21:06

Hi Burak

Your well composed picture really shows that the rain is coming fast. Your shot has good colors, great DOF and sharpness. I may would had included more of the reflection of the boat in front, but that is more personal.

Is Cyprus not divided into a Turkish and a Greek half? In which part is this marina`?

Best regards
Urs

jafadabret (56501) 2009-06-14 0:26

Bonjour Burak.
En attendant la pluie tu as fait une photo superbe. J'aime la composition avec les bateaux en premier plan qui attirent le regard sur la droite et donc sur les autres bateaux au loin.
Belle lumière et belles couleurs !
Bonne journée !
Jacques

delpeoples (60326) 2009-06-14 6:01

Hi Burak, I love water photos and this is an excellent example. The tones and reflections are beautiful, and the image is so sharp. I really like that dramatic sky of yours. Thanks for sharing with us and have a wonderful Sunday, Lisa.

adramad (62718) 2009-06-14 7:40

Hello Burak.
A precious and relaxing postcard, of a place that seems to be idyllic, marvellous colors with a wide range of tonalities, very good composition with the ships leaving space to see the levee with the tower ultimately.
Regards.
Luis.

gunbud (34066) 2009-06-14 18:45

Hi Burak,
Lovely coast scene with this lovely wooded sail boat making an intersting lead-in to the quiet harbor old fortress and story sky.
Stunning reflections and sharp details to this lovely ocean-side image on this beautiful island.

Walking on Girne quays, you've photographed the port Burak
several types of boats are moored safely here, indeed the cheerless sky seen in the bg announces a future rain
