Türkiye kıyılarının en yakın noktası olan Bozburun Yarımadası'ndan 11 mil (18 km.) mesafededir. Adanın 2004 nüfusu 130.000 olup, bunun 55.000'i Rodos şehrinde yaşamaktadır. Rodos şehri Yunanistan'ın Oniki Adalar (Δωδεκάνησα, Dodekanisa) idari bölgesinin ve (Sömbeki, Herke, İleki ve Meis adalarını da içeren) Rodos ilinin (nomos) merkezidir.

Rhodes
---------------------
(Greek: Ρόδος, Ródos, IPA: [ˈro̞đo̞s]; Italian: Rodi; Ottoman Turkish: ردوس Rodos; Ladino: Rodi or Rodes) is a Greek island approximately 18 kilometres (11 mi) southwest of Turkey in eastern Aegean Sea. It is the largest of the Dodecanese islands in terms of both land area and population, with a population of 117,007[2] of which 53,709 resided in the homonymous capital city of the island.
Historically, Rhodes was famous worldwide for the Colossus of Rhodes, one of the Seven Wonders of the World. The medieval Old Town of the City of Rhodes has been declared a World Heritage Site. Today Rhodes is a tourist destination.
Geography
----------------------
Topography of RhodesThe island of Rhodes is shaped like a spearhead, 79.7 km (49.5 mi) long and 38 km (24 mi) wide, with a total area of approximately 1,400 square kilometres (541 sq mi) and a coastline of approximately 220 km (137 mi). The city of Rhodes is located at the northern tip of the island, as well as the site of the ancient and modern commercial harbours. The main air gateway (Diagoras International Airport, IATA code: RHO) is located 14 km (9 mi) to the southwest of the city in Paradisi. The road network radiates from the city along the east and west coasts.
In terms of flora and fauna, Rhodes is closer to Asia Minor than to the rest of Greece. The interior of the island is mountainous, sparsely inhabited and covered with forests of pine (Pinus brutia) and cypress (Cupressus sempervirens). The island is home to the Rhodian deer. In Petaludes Valley (Greek for "Valley of the Butterflies"), large numbers of tiger moths gather during the summer months. Mount Attavyros, at 1,216 metres (3,990 ft), is the island's highest point of elevation. While the shores are rocky, the island has arable strips of land where citrus fruit, wine grapes, vegetables, olives and other crops are grown.
Outside of the city of Rhodes, the island is dotted with small villages and beach resorts, among them Faliraki, Lindos, Kremasti, Haraki, Pefkos, Archangelos, Afantou, Koskinou, Embona (Attavyros), Paradisi, and Trianta (Ialysos). Tourism is the island's primary source of income.

Hi,

Love the photo. Great colours and sharpness, looks really life like. The waves make the picture far more interesting than a flat blue sea!

Kind regards Leo

zeflash (53) 2009-07-22 10:24

Hi Berek,
With this photo you captured the beauty of this sailboat and the power of wind over water very well - my congratulations! I'm convinced: The Aegean Sea has some blue tones that you won't find elsewhere. See a shot I took of Gramvoussa - Crete, that's where I formed my opinion.
Friendly regards, Zeflash.

Hello Burak,

The blue colors of the foaming brine are fantastic ! The land (or island) dim on the distant horizon has added depth to the scene as well as the waves in out of focus in the the foreground. I really like the great colors and wonderful depth.

Many thanks for sharing and best regards,
Eungbong

Merhaba Burak,

Ne renkler bu! Hayran olmamak imkansiz. Siz de bir teknedeymiydiniz? Winslow Homer adinda meshur bir ressam vardi, bu iste onun bir tablosunu çok andiriyor.

Selam ve saygilar,

Merhaba Burak Bey, okyanus kenarında olmama rağmen dalgalarla bu denli haşır neşir bir fotoğraf henüz çekemedim. Bembeyaz köpükler, dalgaların kırıldığı iki hat arasında uzanan enfes turkuvaz bölüm özellikle hoşuma gitti. Seyir hâlindeki yelkenli de ayrı bir güzellik katmış. Elinize sağlık.

Hi Burak,
This fantastic shot could be a painting with the captivating various shades of turquoise and blue contrasting with the wild surf.
The lines of really makes the horizon come alive.
Got to hang a star on this one.

BilboCA (734) 2009-07-31 23:44

Hi, Burak,

This photo has much to like.

The blues really are remarkable, from the pale light blue of the mid-range sea to the deep blue of the distant sea, and then the blues of the sky modulated by the far mountains.

The ship has nice complementary elements and is sharply rendered.

Well done!
- William

Cretense (68709) 2009-08-01 2:01

Merhaba Burak!

Fantastic photo, the composition is simple but perfect, this beautiful yacht is perfectly placed in the framing, surrounded by all sorts of blues! Flawless light managment, beautiful colours! Congratulations!

Hi Burak!
This photo has incredible texture and colours, whether it be the big waves in the foreground, the rough blue sea in the middle ground or the hills hardly visible against the blue sky in the background! The presence of the yacht of course adds elegance to the picture!
A great post!
Cheers!
