- A -, a photo from Kyrenia, West

Photographer's Note

dear Friends,
interesting advertisement from Girne. I like colours and harmony. have a great Sunday.

Burak Erek

Note: Girne-Kyrenia.
---------------------
Situated on the north coast of Cyprus, Kyrenia, with its 6,000 year long history, unique remains of countless civilisations, miles of natural beaches, calm sea, and mild climate is an idyllic Mediterranean town.
Bounded to the north by the sea and to the south by the greenery of the Besparmak (Fivefinger) Mountain range, it offers the most magnificent scenery on the island.
Kyrenia's charming and tiny harbour, full of yachts and fishing boats, is framed by the colossal hulk of its Crusader castle. With the backdrop of the jagged mountains behind and the calm sparkling sea in front, the harbour has an intoxicatingly serene atmosphere.
Kyrenia is an easy place to while away any time of the day... exploring shops, markets and local cafés in late morning, strolling in the narrow cobbled alleys behind the harbour in the afternoon, or stepping out for a brisk walk along the promenade and sea wall in the evening.
The beautiful harbour is dominated by the majestic Kyrenia Castle which houses a museum containing the remains of an ancient ship which was salvaged from the sea.
Overlooking the entrance to the harbour is Kyrenia Castle. Dating from the time of the Byzantines, its massive defences surround a complex mixture of building styles from centuries before and it is likely that there was a Roman fort here originally. Subsequently enlarged and strengthened by the Lusignans and then the Venetians, the castle is now home to many historical artefacts and is the current resting-place of the world's oldest shipwreck.
As the sun sets, Kyrenia harbour again becomes the focus of activity as the locals take their evening stroll and the cafés and bistros that face the sea prepare for their nightly trade. Crisp white linen and small vases of local flowers are lovingly arranged on tabletops to welcome the evening's guests to wine and dine in the cooling breeze.
There are several mosques and churches to see in the town, well worth a visit.
Just a few minutes drive away, lies the fairy-tale castle of St.Hilarion. Rumoured to be the original inspiration for Walt Disney's 'Sleeping Beauty', St Hilarion was built during the crusades and those intrepid enough to brave the long walk to its battlements will be rewarded with stunning views of Kyrenia and the whole of the island's northern coastline..

Merhaba Burak Bey,
Bazen gerçekten de şaşırtıcı fotoğraflar yüklüyorsunuz. Duvarın gözleri, çok etkileyici bakıyor. Dokular, renkler, düşünce ve sonuç harika. Notta Korkut'un adını aradım desem yalan olmaz. Elinize sağlık.

Merhaba Burak,
fine composition. The painting before the wall works excellent in that more colourless surrounding. Good angle instead of frontal view.
Lieben Gruss, Ulf

Salam Burak
The subject is very interesting.
I am hypnotized by this green glance.
I think if it will be possible to have a front position or a more side eft position to give some perspective.
Cheers.

keribar (43841) 2007-12-11 21:32

Hello Burak,
Interesting for sure, these green eyes seem to pierce the wall and look deeply at you.
Many thanks fot this nice posting - Izzet

alvaraalto (42318) 2007-12-13 13:37

Hi Burak,

I’m pleasantly surprised by the unexpected contrast in this picture. The colourful and very expressive eyes of the painting placed on the rough wall with some artificial trees in front. Everything in this picture contributes to this very artistic scene.

Groet Rob

mirarer (4751) 2007-12-13 14:56

Hola Burak,
Me gusta como has utilizado las ramas del árbol para componer la imagen y la fuerza y contraste entre esta imagen tan colorida y el fondo tierra.
Regards,
Mirari.

Angshu (56760) 2007-12-13 19:52

Gerçekten vurucu reklam afişi, arkadaki eski duvar örgüsü ve eski yüz çok iyi örtüşmüş komposizyon olarak, harika görülmüş bir kare, gözünüze sağlık..

Hi,
Excellent shot; the eye poster is very effective. The 'eyes' is seems to tell so many stories. TFS.

jmcl (14535) 2007-12-18 11:52

Hi Burak,

I like the way the colors of the art contrast so against the surrounding earth .. but the textures somehow seem linked. Well placed in the frame as well .. very nice.

take care,

John

bu resmi o duvara asmak değil, resmin o duvarla yarattığı bütünlüğü görüp fotoğraflamak marifet işte! gencecik gözlerin etrafındaki duvar sanki yüzün yaşlanmış derisi gibi... duvarın rengi resmin çarpıcılığını artırıyor...

çoksel olmuş! :)

tebrik ederim berek bey :)

ayniList (14) 2008-04-10 16:43

bu fotografınızı görmüş ve çok begenmiştim,

çok etkileyici bir kompozisyon
elnize sağlık

erdo (569) 2008-04-18 13:49

sevgili Burak, Bayıldığım tarz bir fotograf, duvarın dokusuyla resmin dokusu uyuşuyor, renk zıtlığıysa vede gözler resmi ayırıyor. Biri kuzey biri güneymi yoksa?
iyi bir hafta sonu.

cak (4931) 2010-02-14 3:03

delici bakışlar işlendiği cam saç ,yada niteliği anlaşılmayan bir levhada bozunmakta iken bile sıradan duvarda dikkat çekiyor

papagolf21 (152599) 2014-12-02 23:28

Cher ami Burak,
Une peinture dans la ville ! Une façon de mettre les musées sous une forme différente.
Très bonne journée.

Hello Burak,
The painting, which show a partial angry face, but a deep green eyes, is decorating in good contrast the humble wall.
Details are clear and distinct.
Good afternoon,
