Kastoria
Kastoria (Greek: Καστοριά, Kastoriα,is a city in northern Greece in the periphery of West Macedonia. It is the capital of Kastoria Prefecture, located at [show location on an interactive map] 40°31′00″N 21°16′00″E / 40.516667, 21.266667. The town's population is estimated as some 20,660 people (1991 census). It is situated on a promontory on the western shore of Lake Orestiada, in a valley surrounded by limestone mountains.
Name
There are multiple theories regarding the name Kastoria.Perhaps the most dominant of these is that the name derives from the Greek word κάστορας (kαstoras, meaning "beaver"). Trade in the animal's fur, sourced from nearby Lake Orestiada, has traditionally been an important element of the city's economy. Other theories propose that the name derives from the Greek word κάστρο (kαstro, meaning "castle" from the Latin word castrum) or from the mythical hero Κάστωρ (Kαstōr), who may have been honoured in the area. From Greek, the name was borrowed into Turkish as Kesriye. The local Slavic name of the city is Kostur (Cyrillic: Костур).

Dobro vece.
Lep pogled i trenutak, dobar tekst o gradu sa opisom ...
Dobar trenutak snimka i kontrast, lepo pokazano mesto, ribarski camac i ribolovci.
Dobar rad i kompozicija, lepo uhvacen trenutak.
Lepa fotografija i secanje na 2007.
Prijatno vece i sve najbolje za vikend, srecno.
Paja.

Ciao Danos
le ultime foto che hai proposto non sono recenmtissime perς hanno tujtte un particolare fascino per la bellezza della composizione.
Questa di oggi riesce a trasmettere la particolare poesia che spesso i laghi hanno.
Non solo i colori sono particolarmente delicati, ma la stessa scena invita al raccoglimento e alla contemplazione.
Complimenti anche per questa
Ciao e buona serata
Romano

Hi Danos
I really like this calm scene, but more than anything I like how you have framed the subject of your photo do ll by using the calm autumn tones of these trees. The softly rippling water looks really great and there is a wondful sense of calm and peace. A perfect picture to see after a really busy week in work.
Have a great weekend.

Hello Danos,
You placed the boat and the fisherman very nicely between the trees, whose branches are stretched out almost up to him. The photo has very fine, mild colors and a pleasant light, and you have captured a quiet and peaceful atmosphere.
Kind regards,

Hi Danos,
The strong lines of the two trees are excellently framing the main motive here, the boat and the fisherman. Even the two boulders are adding to the composition with their balance. I also enjoy the soft and pleasant colours.
Kind regards

Hi Danos,
The trees are helping to frame the scene. The point of view is showing the details of the boat. The wideness of the lake is giving depth to the composition. The light has agood effect on the colors. Have a nice day.

Hello Danos,
You are right, this is a calm scene.
I like how you have used the f/g for immediate interest and to anchor the scene, whilst the two trees frame the fisherman, who is the focal interest in the shot.
The colours are perfect and indicative of the time of year.
Have a good w/e,
Bev :-)

This is a very romantic photo. The boat is well framed in between the trees. The out-of focus and slightly foggy town in the background makes a very romantic backdrop.

Hello Danos,
There is a wonderful atmosphere in this shot, with the fisherman in his small boat. It must be a very lonely business to make a living from fishing. Subdued light and colors add to the mood.
Warm regards,

Hi Danos
The two dark fg trees frame the bg boat superbly as well as adding nice graphic elements. Fantastic sharpness and a pleasant soft diffused light with minimalist colors. Nice reflections in the water and interesting ripple patterns. The bg town along the shoreline is intriguing in the mist. Tfs!

I like very much this composition with hazy colours, it has a special peaceful mood. You framed perfectly the man in the boat between the two trees. The soft BG direct your eyes right to the boat.

Καλησπέρα Δάνο,
όμορφη, μελαγχολική και υποβλητική εικόνα, μου φέρνει στο νου ταινίες του Θόδωρου Αγγελόπουλου. Θαυμάσια η αντιπαράθεση της όχθης και του φόντου, φυσικές υφές και γραφιστικό αποτέλεσμα εμπλουτίζουν την οπτική εμπειρία. Τα χρώματα δημιουργούν και αντανακλούν την ατμόσφαιρα εξαιρετικά. Η πόλη στο βάθος μοιάζει με όνειρο. Συγχαρητήρια και ευχαριστώ!
Να είσαι καλά, καλό Σαββατοκύριακο,
Ουρανία
