Porto Katsiki, a photo from Lefkada, Ionian Islands

Photographer's Note

Porto Katsiki
Info from www.holiday.gr
Porto Katsiki, the best known beach, is today considered one of the most outstanding in the whole of Europe. This is a beach of exceptional beauty, famed the world over.

Located 9 km near the village of Athani, here you will find green-blue, crystal-clear and brilliantly clean waters, with white sand hidden beneath the steep cliffs, it is revealed to the visitor as he slowly descends the steps which bring him down to the beach.

This unique landscape is so spectacular that it will be inscribed forever in the memory of whoever visits this beach, whether he approaches it from the land or by boat from the sea.

P.P. Panoramic photo made from 5 vertical shots. First processing at Lightroom and merged at PhotoShop CS4

Hello Chris,

I like the composition. The tree on the left gives some depth to the picture. The sea has a very nice color.

Hello Chris,
This really seems one of the places to be during summer, at least when it is not too hot... A lovely panorama.

Paul

Bonjour Chris

Superbe stitch. Les couleurs et la lumière sont tout simplement extraordinaires. On dirait que les bateaux ont été placés dans l'eau par la main de l'artiste.

Amicalement

Φίλε μου Χρήστο,
εύχομαι καλή χρονιά γεμάτη χαρές και υγεία!
Με τα εφόδια αυτά προχωράς όλα σου τα σχέδια και μετατρέπεις το μαύρο που σε σερβίρουν σε λευκό.
Η αδυναμία μας, η φωτογραφία, είναι εκείνη που μας ενώνει. Είναι ένα σημαντικό "συν" στα αποθέματα ενέργειας και ζωτικότητας που έχουμε ανάγκη.

Το κάδρο, η ομορφιά του τοπίου και τα φανταχτερά χρώματα προσδιορίζουν την αξία αυτής της φωτογραφίας και δίνουν το στίγμα της Ελλάδας στο TREKEARTH.
