so simple, a photo from Dodekanisos, South Aegean

Photographer's Note

In the English language, blue may refer to the feeling of sadness. "He was feeling blue".

This is, probably, because blue was related to rain, or storms, and in Greek mythology, the god Zeus would make rain when he was sad (crying), and a storm when he was angry. Kyanos was a name used in Ancient Greek to refer to dark blue tile (in English it means blue-green or cyan)

This church is at the peak of the island of Nisyros, even above the village of Nikia(400m).

Kalimera Markos!

Not a sad capture!! ;)

Very nice, with the mediterranean light that I love!1

Very good colour tones and composition, textures on stone and church walls are very good too...

Good work!

Have a nice week end...
Best regards

Μάρκο καλησπέρα,
πραγματικά μια απλή φωτό αλλά συγχρόνως τόσο όμορφη σε φως και χρώμα.Ένας προορισμός για του χρόνου το Καλοκαίρι στο υπέροχο νησί της Νίσυρου.Εάν άλλαζες γωνία και έδειχνες και λίγο την πλαινή πλευρά της μικρής αυτής εκκλησίας,η σκηνή πιστεύω θα ήταν καλύτερη.

Σε χαιρετώ,Δάνος

Hola tio.

Me encanta la sencillez por supuesto. El mar de fondo como complemento a la iglesia te ha quedado genial.

Un saludo!

I saw it from down bottom, it looked great from the distance, but now I see that it looks much better up above.

I really enjoyed all your Nikia photos. Best wishes
