Photographer's Note
This is part of the huge complex of the Roman Acueduct, located in the springs of Louros river, close to the village of Aghios Georgios, where you can also see a "dristella", a traditional, ecological washing machine (***CHECK HERE*** and ***HERE***).
The aqueduct was constructed after 31 BC, after the foundation of Nikopolis by Octavianus Augustus for the water supply of the new city.It carried the water from the springs of Louros to two cisterns in the Nymphaeum of Nikopolis, about 50 km to the south. It actually consists of three parts, each constructed in a different manner:
1.a channel with a vaulted, water-proof roof and ventilation shafts
2.a tunnel quarried out in the Kokkinopilos valley (***CHECK HERE***) and
3.arcaded bridges that carried the water across the hills.

Good afternoon, Hercules,
This is a very nice and colourful picture of an interesting place. Nice diagonal composition, great colours, especially the combination of the red bricks and the turning leaves, and an interesting note. It is good I decided to take another peek at new posts before I turn my computer off :-) Have a nice day, Dasha

Ciao Hercules, how are you?
Bella composizione con ottimo contrasto cromatico tra il rosso del colonnato e il verde delle foglie.
Un mix perfetto che accentua notevolmente i tipici colori dell'autunno.
TFS!

Γεια σου Ηρακλή,
Πολύ όμορφη φωτογραφία με υπέροχα χρώματα, μια πολύ καλή σύνθεση με τα αρχαία Ρωμαϊκά ερείπια στο Λούρο.
Καλή σου μέρα, Βασίλης.

Hi Hercules,
Stunning composition! It is curious to observe how nature will incorporate the work of man. The ruins are being embraced by the vegetation. Magnificent colors, great point of view. Very well done!
Greetings

salut voisin
un pont qui ne ressemble pas a un pont, le traitement spécial coupe un peu le detail des pierres, cela dit les couleurs et le POV sont top

Hi Hercules
Strong colours that almost looks like a painting. Did you do an HDR shot here to get this effect?

Kalispera Hercules.
Excelente tu trabajo con la luz y la exposición. La gran cantidad de detalles en la definición hace que se pierda un poco el detalle (el tamaño máximo de la foto en TE no lo permite) pero el conjunto es una muy buena foto.
Ta leme, file mou.
