Photographer's Note
You can see here a larger,sharper and more detailed version of the photo.
Edessa
Edessa (Greek: Έδεσσα),known as "city of waters",is a city in northern Greece and the capital of the Pella regional unit, in the Central Macedonia region of Greece. It was also the capital of the defunct province of the same name.
Edessa holds a special place in the history of the Greek world as, according to some ancient sources, it was here that Caranus established the first capital of ancient Macedon.Later, under the Byzantine Empire, Edessa benefited from its strategic location, controlling the Via Egnatia as it enters the Pindus mountains, and became a center of medieval Greek culture, famed for its strong walls and fortifications.In the modern period, Edessa was one of Greece's industrial centers until the middle of the 20th century, with many textile factories operating in the city and its immediate vicinity. Today however its economy mainly relies on services and tourism. Edessa hosts most of the administrative services of the Pella regional unit, as well as some departments of the Thessaloniki-based University of Macedonia.
Name
The Greek name Ἔδεσσα (Ιdessa) means "tower in the water"and is generally thought to be of Phrygian origin,although a minority of scholars consider it to be Illyrian instead.The Slavic name Vodĭnŭ (Водьнъ) was first attested in the 10th century,[citation needed] and became the common name until the 20th century.

Hello Danos,
It's a pity that we can't have audio, too, for I'm sure there would be a lot of noise connected to your photograph!
You have captured this as I like it. The water is sharp and splashing as it cascades down the cliff face. A slow shutter speed would have lost all this exciting detail!
The people are important as they immediately add scale and give the waterfall a greater stature.
Have a great day,
Bev :-)

Καλησπέρα Δάνο,
μια από τις πιο φρέσκες και όμορφες φωτογραφίες του φημισμένου καταρράχτη της Έδεσσας, ένα συναρπαστικό θέαμα που γεμίζει το κάδρο ενώ οι επισκέπτες μας αποκαλύπτουν τις εντυπωσιακές διαστάσεις του. Πολύ ωραία τα φυσικά χρώματα και εξαιρετικές οι λεπτομέρειες. Η υφή του νερού που πέφτει από τόσο μεγάλο ύψος έχει καταγραφεί θαυμάσια. Συγχαρητήρια και ευχαριστώ!
Να είσαι καλά, καλό Σαββατοκύριακο,
Ουρανία

Beautiful photo of this waterfall, you captured it very well from a good sideways POV. The soft light and natural surrounding colours produce a fine mood and the people are well included to provide scale.

Hello Danos,
the inclusion of the people gives a good sense of scale to the very impressive waterfall,the fast shutter speed has frozen the the water droplets perfectly.

Hello dear Danos,
Another topclass capture in your gallery taken with perfect pov and layout.
A scene full of dynamism.
By the way a city in Eastern Turkey (close to the Syrian border) Urfa, had also the name Edessa in the antiquity.
TFS and have a nice weekend

Kalispera Danos, many thanks for your note on mine.
I love waterfalls and this one is impressive by all means: The high cascade as scaled by the people stood on the balcony under it, the abundance of water and probably the great roar it makes, and your perspective in fine contrast to green surrounding.
Enjoy a nice weekend,
Ike

Sensational image with this magnificent waterfall you've captured with good POV, we see very well the fall of water among the vegetation of the slope of the land.
An image to enjoy with its beautiful colors, good lighting, and a perfect sharpness
Very well done. I love.
Have a good weekend.

Hello Danos,
A good exposure on the white highlights of the waterfall with good sharpness and just enough motion blur to suggest movement. The people on the terrace add scale. Tfs!
