Photographer's Note
You can see here a larger,sharper and more detailed version of the photo.
Today Dec 1st two landmarks are exist for me,
a:the first one is my presentation here in the site for 8 years and
b:the 700 hundreds of photos that i have upload all these years.
All these years I met and became friends with many photographers and others who left the site.So in the beginning was learning and learning even enough for the photography but the most important is that mentally traveled to countries and places I had not been the case ever visit and see.
I thank all of you who see my photos and supported me all these years.
Rio–Antirrio bridge
This is the World's longest (2,880 m or 9,449 ft) multi-span cable-stayed bridge seeing it from the ferry boat crossing the Korinthian golf.It crosses the Gulf of Corinth near Patras, linking the town of Rion on the Peloponnese to Antirion on mainland Greece.
Name
Its official name is the Charilaos Trikoupis Bridge. Charilaos Trikoupis was a 19th century Greek prime minister, and suggested the idea of building a bridge between Rion and Antirion; however, the endeavour was too expensive at the time, when Greece was trying to get a late foot into the Industrial Revolution
Location
The 2,880 m (9,449 ft) long bridge dramatically improves access to and from the Peloponnese, which could previously be reached only by ferry or via the isthmus of Corinth at its extreme east end. Its width is 28 m (92 ft) — it has two vehicle lanes per direction, an emergency lane and a pedestrian walkway. Its five-span four-pylon cable-stayed portion of length 2,252 m (7,388 ft) is the world's second longest cable-stayed deck; only the deck of the Millau Viaduct is longer at 2,460 m (8,071 ft). However, as the latter is also supported by bearings at the pylons apart from cable stays, the Rion-Antirion bridge deck might be considered the longest cable-stayed "suspended" deck.
This bridge is widely considered[citation needed] to be an engineering masterpiece owing to several solutions applied to span the difficult site. These difficulties include deep water, insecure materials for foundations, seismic activity, the probability of tsunamis, and the expansion of the Gulf of Corinth due to plate tectonics.

hello Danos,
I am the first one to congratulate you in this double celebrations! 8 years is a quite lomg time to post many beautiful photos. Isn't it a great place for learning? But more important are the friendships made, as I always say, and I hope to meet you in the future too. Superb composition with a beautiful bay, attractive long bridge and windmills on the hill.
have a great new week

Hi Danos,
Congratulation for your 8 years on TE, the length of the bridge is giving depth to the composition. The point of view is showing the details of the bridge and of the mountains. The good luminosity is bringing out the colors. Have a nice day.

Bonjour Danos,
Impressionnant le recul à prendre pour inclure l'ensemble de ce pont dans une seule photo. Il est de toute beauté et il semble léger dans le paysage, presque aérien.
Amicalement

Hello Danos,
My congratulations on your double celebrations. You have been here for 8 very successful years.
This is another one of your many nice photos. The yellow grass is well used as a foreground creating a strong contrast with the generally blue and green view. The elegant bridge is an impressive focal point as it spans the golf. The photo has very good light and colours.
Kind regards,
Gert

Howdy Danos,
Fine view from the grassy hillside of the Rio Antirrio Bridge, an excellent engineering creation. And a bonus with the distant mountain top wind turbine generators. I am a big fan of 'green energy' - Wind and Solar.
Thanks for sharing,
Cheers,
Ray

Ciao Danos
i segni del tempo si vedono, il paesaggio non è certo quello che vedeva Zeus....
Sulle montagne si vedono le pale eoliche, magari nell'antichità c'erano i mulini a vento, mentre le famose navi con le vele greche sono state sostituite dal grande ponte.
Ma a vista rimane comunque splendida.
Ottimo scatto, una foto ben composta con un bellissimo paesaggio.
Saluti

That is one heck of a view well taken from a good view point depicting the bridge as prominent subject and feast for the eyes An extremely wonderful example of modern infrastructural architecture, which I admire. A beautifully composed and exposed composition, full of good detail in depth and superb contrast to blue and golden foreground. A shot to be proud off surely, Well done, Congrats

Hello Give us.
A great panorama that gives us a broad view of this beautiful place, the bridge looks like butterfly wings across the Gulf, this dry grass in the foreground, with its golden color, is a nice contrast to the deep blue sea.
Wonderful clarity and colors.
Excellent composition and sharpness.
Have a nice day.
All the best.
Luis.

Hi Danos.
First of all I would like to congratulate you for your being in TE 8 years and uploading 700 photos. Mine is just five years and around 300 photos. Also I personally thank you for your good wishes and ideas about TE friends. On the other hand the bridge in your photo looks so nice. Similar one is constructing between Yalova to İzmit in Turkey. TFS, GREETINGS

Hello Danos,
Congratulations for your 700th picture on TE, I hope that we yet can see, a lot nice picture as in past.
Again a very pleasant picture also with a great quality photographed.
This makes your picture very quiet and a lovely place with the bridge and the mountains in background.
Nice panoramic sight with fantastic colours.
An excellent presentation too, TFS.
Have a nice day,
John.

Hi Danos,
A big "congratulations" on both accounts, benchmarks that we've all been able to admire through picture! :) I remember you having made a choice a while back to continue posting pictures on this site, and I'm certainly glad you did...it's been a pleasure having your talents displayed and expressed here for all to enjoy and learn from. As I can now attest, it's definitely a great place to meet new friends that share the same interests, and hopefully I can make it over to Greece one of these days as well. :) A nice, long distance view of the bridge, this allows for a full perspective of its architectural design and surounding context. Well layed out and seen from this vantage point. Here's to many more years and photos! :) Take care.
Friendly wishes,
Jason

Hi Danos
So glad you're still with TE after 8 years! The 4 span bridge is indeed very long and makes a fine focal point. Good sharpness and the azure Mediterranean looks as lovely here as it does in the Aegean Sea. Nice warm cold color contrasts between the dried yellow red brown gass and the blue sea and sky, with excellent sharpness. Tfs!
