Parthenonas, a photo from Halkidiki, Macedonia

Photographer's Note

Hi my friends! The Parthenon is one of the most famous buildings of Ancient Gereece. But this time we visit a small village in the mountains of Sythonia peninsula in Greek Macedonia. Parthenonas is just a few miles away from the beaches, but is almost totally out of tourist traks - "partheno" means "virgin" in Greek... Another typical Balkan village, which can be found in Greek, Bulgarian and Turkish hills and mountains.

Hello Anton,
How are you, my friend!
Thank you for sharing this beautiful mountain with buildings with a view! I can see some buildings had been abandoned for a while!
good exposure and focus with nice colour contrast from the CPL!
well done

Hallo Anton!
Here I am again! ;-))
This village really is "near to nature" and all houses seem to be embedded in their surroundings. The view upward works very well here and shows the situation of this settlement in a good way. This must be a calm place. I like this one ...
Greetings from very wet Germany!

Hello Anton,

Amazing contrasts between green and clear blue sky. I was thinking to write it's possible to see same architecture in neighbour countries but you already did it. I like it, congratulations.

Best Regards,

Hi Anton!Exist resemblances in the building art from the one in the other person. The persons from each other do not have problem the interests of big are the problem! The name says many. The picture gives the size of escape of the persons from the countryside and the villages because urbanism

Hi Anton!
Nice view of this hill with these traditional houses ( they are not so different from yours, are they?). Good to see a fig tree on the right side. Very sharp and with beautiful colours!

Olá Anton, the polarized sky is hypnotizing. Beautiful view of the typical village lost in a green landscape and good use of the fig tree at right FG. It reminds me of some turkish sceneries indeed.
warm regards,
ricardo

Hello Anton,

Seems like you had a great sky this summer!
Well, I guess the polarizer helped a bit too, hehehe...
Fine point of view to show the village that seems to be a mix of buildings in different states...
Good colours and fine details!
