Hi!

Decided to escape to enjoy some real summer at least for a week and now would like to share some views

Corfu town, view from the mount Pantokrator. Top of the mount is surrounded by quite a moon like terrain.

It was easy to spent all the time taking some landscape pictures, but Corfu town has is a wonderful place for spotting especially in the evening

perhaps this one is a bit off topic, but taking in to account size of Corfu
hope it can be counted as a cityscape :D

C&C is always welcome.

Regards,

Sven

P.S. I was hoping much to see some flora and fauna described by Gerald Durell, but most probably for this mission have to go in the spring, second week of August is the best time for seeing a lot of tourist but nothing else :D

    These are all very good. I especially like the one with the evening sun. Good work!

    Many thanks for your feed back.

    Here in Estonia we do not have neither mountains nor hot weather so it was unusual for m:D.

    Regards,

    Thanks Sven for showing such exqusite shots in the receding sun light. The first one is the best one for me. Can I see such places in my life time?

    I have not seen many photos of Corfu before but it looks like an absolutely beautiful place to be. I love the way you captured it in different kinds of light: sunlight, moonlight, citylight, starlight...

    I think each of these has a lot of potential in terms of composition and processing. At this time I think I would have cropped parts off or pushed exposures/curves more, but overall this is a great set.

    Hope to visit there some day! Thanks so much for sharing. thumb.gif
