Agios Nikolaos, a photo from Lasithi, Crete

Photographer's Note

Agios Nikolaos!

As the capital of the Prefecture of Lassithi, Ag. Nikolaos is everything that one would expect from a capital city ... a cosmopolitan atmosphere, an incredibly charming and very picturesque port, a high tourist infrastructure with many restaurants, shops, exciting and lively nightlife, and plenty of cultural events, especially the Lato Cultural Festival that starts at the end of July and goes on until the beginning of September.

The city itself is not necessarily renowned for its excellent beaches, as those will really be found further north at the well developed beach resort of Elounda, but rather for its cosmopolitan atmosphere and the many restaurants and shops that are found here. A notable feature of the town is the small lake (Voulismeni) in the center of the town (said to be bottomless, through actually about 60 meters deep) which has been connected to the sea and is crossed by a small bridge.

thanks for visit...

Hi Nasos,

It´s lovely the way the blue gets deeper when you move from the sky to the sea. Very well framed !

Cheers, Maurício

Καλημέρα Νάσο,
Ωραιότατη η θέα του Άγιου Νικόλαου που λούζεται από τον ήλιο, πολύ όμορφα τα χρώματα και οι αντιθέσεις, εξαιρετική διαχείριση του φωτός, πολύ καλά διαλεγμένη γωνιά λήψης.
Καλή συνέχεια, Βασίλης.

Bonjour Nasos,

Le cadrage vertical donne un drôle d'aspect ŕ l'ensemble. Immensément de place au ciel, malgré la beauté du village aus belles couleurs fortes.

Amicalement

Serge

Νάσο καλησπέρα,
ωραία η πανοραμική θέα του Αγίου Νικολάου με το φως και τα χρώματα να είναι εξαιρετικά αποτυπωμένα.Το καθετο κάδρο κατά την γνώμη μου αδικεί την φωτογραφία,ενώ ένα οριζόντιο θα την απογείωνε.

Καλό απόγευμα,Δάνος

Ciao Nasos!
Bella inquadratura, mi piace anche il taglio in verticale con tanto cielo blů! Bella la luce sulla cittadina con la parte del porticciolo in ombra!
Saluti, Nino.

Hi Nasos,

Very unusual way to present this place .. with so much blue sky in a vertical frame .. in a way it is kind of analogy for the blue and white architecture so associated with Greece. It works as well because it shows this beautiful city in the vastness of the world around it. very nice.

take care,

John

Hello Nasos,

very beautiful POV you have chosen here, your composition gives the nice details of the small port town and still has the feeling of huge space.

Well done

Best regards

Romana

Hi Nasos
really not well paid !
I like your original vertical compo of this colorful village and its port at the FG, but giving much room to the huge sky
I like the sensation of immensity it conveys
have a nice evening

Hello,

Nice composition leting a big part of sky over the village which then seems to be a harbor for the sea but also for the sky.
Good saturation of color.
It seems you could have pushed a bit more the sharpness on this post.

Yves.
