Photographer's Note
Ouranoupolis, a truly remarkable city that is located on the borders of the human with the divine, as it unites the Holy Mountain (Agio Oros) with the remaining part of Greece, is 120 km from Thessaloniki and amply rewards each visitor with its natural beauty, as it harmoniously combines the mountain with the sea.
It is a seaside region at the feet of Athos with a historic and architectural grandeur that also provides many opportunities for rest and peace.
The characteristic of Ouranoupolis is the peace that prevails generating exaltation of the soul even to the visitor who has been worn down by daily life.
Remarkable architectural monument of Ouranoupolis is the tower of "Prosforiou", today is used as a museum.
Ouranoupolis is the entrance of Agio Oros, only by ferry.

Kalimera Vasilis,
An excelent POV taken shot, and an impressive tower in scenery guarding the town on seafront.
I think when use of HD-CP, you must elevate exposure just by a bit(or two bit's) so nature would shown a better colors, that's to say more green on brown BG.
Sincerely
Ike

Bonjour Vasilis,
Cette belle tour en bord de mer est magnifique et devait protéger l'entrée du port contre les attaques ennemies. Le cadrage est impeccable et la gestion de la lumière parfaite.
Bon dimanche

Καλησπέρα Βασίλη,
Το καλοκαίρι οι λιγοστές διακόπες που έκανα ήταν Αμμουλίανη και ο Πύργος της Ουρανούπολης ήταν ακριβώς στην θέα που έβλεπα. Προφανώς η λήψη είναι πάνω απο καραβάκι γιατι μόνο απο έκει μπορει να το καδραρεις τόσο καλά. Εξαιρετίκο αποτέλεσμα και ωραίος φωτισμός.
Ευχομαί καλή βδομάδα,
Χαιρετισμούς,
Μαρία

Γειά σου Βασίλη,
η πιό πολυφωτογραφημένη γωνιά της Ουρανούπολης,σίγουρα και η πιό εντυπωσιακή με τον πύργο να θυμίζει άλλες εποχές,το σημείο λήψης (από το καράβι γιά Δάφνη;) πολύ καλό καθώς και το καδράρισμα,
σε χαιρετώ,
Δημήτρης.

Come un abile giocatore di carte .
Un ottimo "someliers" di pregiati vini .
Questa inquadratura togli il mistero di questa torre che mostra il suo splendore ...in un conteso abitativo ..si erge "Sovrana".
