Nymphai, a photo from Magnisia, Thessaly

Photographer's Note

The Nymphai (or Nymphs in English) were minor nature goddesses which populated the cosmos. Although they were ranked below the gods, they were still invited to attend the assemblies of the gods on Olympos.

The Nymphai presided over various natural phenomena: from springs, to clouds, trees, caverns, meadows, and beaches. They were responsible chiefly for the care of the plants and animals of their domain, and as such were closely associated with the prime gods of nature such as Hermes, Dionysos, Artemis, Poseidon and Demeter...

Καλησπέρα φίλε Αργύρη.
Εντυπωσιακή και πάλι η φωτό σου με τον ουρανό να την απογειώνει και να της δίνει την μοναδικότητα που όπως πάντα δίνει στις φωτογραφίες σου.
Πραγματικά σαν νύμφες έτοιμες για τον βραδινό χορό τους, οι σιλουέτες, δίνουν μια διαφορετική προέκταση στην σύνθεση από ένα απλό ηλιοβασίλεμα.
χαιρετώ

Αργύρη γειά σου,
πολυ ωραία σκηνή με τον ήλιο να δύει και οι ακτίνες του να πέφτουν και να λούζουν με αυτό τον εντυπωσιακό τρόπο τον λουόμενο που μοιάζει σαν Alien.Μου αρέσουν οι αποχρώσεις του ουρανού όπως και οι σχηματιζόμενες σιλουέτες του δασομένου λοφίσκου.

What a sky!! It is wonderful.
The person in the water, just in the sun reflection, is placed at the exact place o add a lovely detail to your composition.
Well done!

Hi Argiris
what a beautifull sky. The colors are amazing and the choise of the vertical cropping is excellent to give a more impressive sky.

What an amazing cloud and the colos are wonderful while the bathers anchor the cloud nicely. Nice relating it to a nyphm.

burGu (4840) 2008-07-05 15:03

Hello Argiri,
A very well known scene; sunset with some sillhouettes.
But your framing covering sky and sea with a wide perspective, silhoutte standing just on the reflection of sunlight are what differ this sunset photo from others.
Especially I like depth of sky with clouds a lot.
Greetings,
Burcu

Great work, well seen.

Hello Dear Argiris,

A spectacular shot with a succinct, but most informative note. I am happy to know about the hierarchy of the gods, the Nymphai, apparently quasi-gods. The composition is superb.

Warm regards,
