The Hanging Gardens of Olympus, a photo from Pieria, Macedonia

Photographer's Note

In order to meet your gods
I opened my own way
Till the end of my way
I took my decision
As if it were an only, precious fruit
To quench my thirst at extremes!
Pubescent Zeus!

The fir trees in the divine peace of the mountain
Heave the wind and gently hum
While just a breath away reign the sun and the silence.

Hello Athanasios,
I only wonder why this wonderfull capture didn't get any scores yet allthough been viewed by 335x2 eyes !
Maybe you do not write any critics to other TE members ?
Anyhow, it's very nice capture from this famous mountain of the gods of the antiquity.
The yellow flowers in the forground adds a unique taste to your compo.
TFS and best regards

Hello Athanasio,

A surprising view, because one wouldn't expect such a colourful plant in such a stark environment. You made a nice compo, which together with the textures of the rocks, renders an image with great visual impact, which is partially broken by the intrusive lettering below and the watermark.

Regards, José.

Hello, Athanasios!

The yellow of the flowers really stand out in the composition, especially in the middle of such a gray evironment, making a beautiful contrast! The colors are just perfect! Wonderful composition!
