Photographer's Note
Stratoni is located 102 km away from Thessaloniki and 56 km away from Polygiros. An ancient war memorial, which was found in the region (1st century b.c.) and it has impressive statues, tomb, vessels, e.t.c , indicates the position were the city Stratonikeia flourished which is located in the so-called position “Elaionas” of the community Stratonion, where a part of a public roman building has been excavated.
The city was possibly established by Dimitrios Poliorkitis, to honor his mother Stratoniki or his daughter. About 35 years ago a war memorial in Stratoni was researched, that is a tomb –monument, which had two male and one female statues, the well known “Despoina” of Stratoni, which is exposed to the Museum of Polygiros. The inscriptions that found there, show that the monument is dated in the years of Jesus.

Ciao Vasilis,
molto graziosa questa spiaggia e un clima buono malgrado la bassa stagione, testimoniata da i pochi bagnati che si vedono.
Mi piace la fuga prospettica degli ombrelloni e il caldo colore della sabbia assieme ad una ottima definizione.
Ottimo lavoro!
Buona serata
Mario

Hello Vasilis,
It is a very good way to represent Stratoni through its beach with such an aesthetic row of sunshades just near the surf line. Excellent composition reproducing the special atmosphere of this recreational place perfectly well!

Hello Vasilis,
You have selecetd a very efficience POV for give a very nice graphic effect to your composition. The repetition of the umbrellas ( and too of the shade) give depht but too rythm and dynamism to the image.
Have a nice day,

Hi Vasilis,
The long line of shadings and shadows provides a very good part of this picture, with the repetition and with the strong diagonal. A beautiful and very attractive summer view!
Kind regards

Simple but effective composition. Even though they can't be seen there's a presence of second row of umbrellas on the right as indicated by the shadows. Good pov and dof with nice details. Wonderful colors. Well done, tfs.

Hi Vasilis,
rispetto alla precedente foto in formato verticale, questa la preferisco maggiormente in quanto presenta una maggiore profondità e maggiore grafismo.
Luce ben gestita e ottimo sharp.

Vasilis Kalimera!
Very long ago summer. This year we were in Rhodes, but I barely remember it. My soul is very good to this photo. So a little bit I believe that next year is going shine in the sun, warm, and might start traveling to Greece.
Have a nice evening

Hello Vasilis,
A well spotted pattern picture with the umbrellas and shadows. The perspective is excellent and well done for capturing the man walking into the frame. The colours are soft and very beautiful, and the clarity first class.

Βασίλη καλημέρα,
όμορφη Καλοκαιρινή σκηνή με τις ψάθινες ομπρέλες άδειες από επισκέπτες να στέκουν άδειες στην αμμουδένια παραλία.Η σειρά τους δίνε βάθος στη σκηνή,με το φως και το χρώμα να είναι καλοδουλεμένο.

Hi Vasilis, very nice the diagonal who divides the colours and the play of light and shadow created by the sun. Very nice the perceived movement of the waves.
A greeting and good wishes for the weekend ... Marino
