Photographer's Note
Firopotamos,Milos
In northern of Milos, 4km. north-east of Plaka,the capital of island,is found one of the most shot landscapes in Aegean,a small gulf, that entertains the graphic fish village of Firopotamos.
Firopotamos entertains one from the better beaches of island and it is a graphic small port built round a natural creek with green all around waters that promise unforgettable moments of beauty and recreation.
In the creek of Firopotamos, exist also sirmata :the small lodges in which are looked after the boats of at the Wintry period and which, the summertimes, the householders use as Summer rural residences.
Φυροπόταμος Μήλου
Στο βόρειο άκρο της Μήλου, 4χλμ. βορειοανατολικά της Πλάκας, της πρωτεύουσας του νησιού, βρίσκεται ένα από τα πιο πολυφωτογραφημένα τοπία στο Αιγαίου, ένας μικρός κόλπος, που φιλοξενεί το γραφικό ψαροχώρι του Φυροποτάμου.
Ο Φυροπόταμος φιλοξενεί μια από τις καλύτερες παραλίες του νησιού και είναι ένα γραφικό λιμανάκι κτισμένο γύρω από ένα φυσικό κολπίσκο με καταπράσινα νερά που υπόσχονται αξέχαστες στιγμές ομορφιάς και αναψυχής.
Στον κολπίσκο του Φυροποτάμου, υπάρχουν και τα περίφημα σύρματα :τα μικρά σπιτάκια μέσα στα οποία φυλάγονται οι βάρκες κατά τη χειμερινή περίοδο και τα οποία, τα καλοκαίρια, οι ιδιοκτήτες χρησιμοποιούν για θερινές κατοικίες

Καλημέρα Δάνο,
Είναι καταπληκτικά τα νερά στα νησιά μας, καθαρά και με αντανακλάσεις που μαγεύουν τον καθένα, εξαιρετική η εικόνα σου από τη Μήλο με τη βαρκούλα να πλαισιώνεται από αυτό το γαλαζοπράσινο νερό.
Καλή συνέχεια, Βασίλης.

Hello Danos,
The colouir of the water around the Greek islands is unmistakable! I like how the sun's reflections causes shimmering geometric patterns.
The detailed boat, positioned on a diagonal, is nicely positioned.
Spring can't come too early for me! It has been a long, cold winter!
I have noticed that the frogs have just begun to spawn in my garden pond! About 2-3 weeks later than normal!
Kind regards,
Bev :-)

Every shot I see from you is a call to dream.
I like the framing you choose with only green sea in BG. And what a fantastic sea ! Its color ans its transparency are really beautiful. I like also the reflections on the sand. The boat is perhaps over-exposed according to me.
I understand you do never post W&B shots...

Hello Danos, Excellent portrait of this boat. I like the green water and the bottom which apparently is manmade with some form of rock or brick. Rather interesting, and my assumption may be wrong but it looks unusual. I look at the boat and speculate it's use. Obviously not a luxury vessel, nor a fishing boat, but more likely something used in work that requires a pulley. Good Shot. Regards, Roger

Hi Danos
Possible this rowing boat is waiting till winter is gone. It looks a bit sad, but the water is crystal clear. Nice green color hue. Personally I would had included a bit of the rock to give the boat something like an anchor. Otherwise a perfect shot one more time. Well done
Thanks for your critique of my night heron. There are a few fields in photography I do not cover at all, but I can do most. My favorite are the streets and the action, but I also do landscapes, wildlife and some flora. It depends what I have in front of me and - a bit also my mood.
