eho pathei plaka

:O thank you Kostas - maybe one day I will be rich in other ways then ;) - now I have to go and translate! :)

Amazing post Patti. Talk about a peaceful feeling, you've certainly brought it out here. The swans are lovely and the composition is great. Very well done. Thanks for sharing this one.

Wel, i can not add more than foofoo above already did !
The image is georgous, i like the frame, and indeed photography makes you aware of your surroundings in different and better manor.
For me it is a way to get away from my pc. If i would not have a camera, i would stay at home and surf the web, but a camera gives me a reason to get out.

What a lovely spot, Patti! I'll agree with you about photography changing the way you look at things, there's a lot of beauty in this world. Nice shot into the lowering sun. A special quality to the light.

Very nice job Patti, this is just plain beautiful my dear. I think you are absolutely right too, sometimes we take for granted the wonderous things we see everyday until something happens to make us realize that our time is very precious and we need to take advantage of it.

Simply beautiful. Thanks for sharing this with us.

pretty much just gorgeous. the swans fill up the void on the right beautifully. the trees and water and sky are great. jen

This is such a gorgeous shot Patti! If I get this in the VB it gets a 10, & deservingly so! I could go on & on about color, comp.,clarity, etc., but the picture says it all for me. Excellent & into my favorites Patricia!! C);0) *

Oh,forgot to say..truer words were never spoken about photography & beauty in surroundings!

Excellent picture...just loverly. A mood piece if there ever was one. Everyone in the world should have to be a photographer, I guarantee the world would be a different place. Super well done on this and the pint is on me.

Amazing shot, Patti. I love the way you caught the sun on the water. Perfect!!! The contrast in the clouds is outstanding and the geese are eye candy. Beautifully composed. Kudos.

Dang! Allow me to step aside and give up posting. I'll just enjoy yours. What a winner you have here. Those swans are awesome. The lighting is awesome. This is a keeper. Professional all the way.
Pat

Super shot! I too like the swans and the peacefulness(?) of the view. Colors/lighting are just outstanding. Thanks for sharing.

Terrific and superb!....The mood of this is excellent Patti, It has a look very reminiscent of 'Talking Tarn'..a similar place on the A69 toward Carlisle!....This is such a beauty..I'm keeping it!................

While something this lovely can only exist in nature, it takes a talented photographer to capture all it's beauty. Very well done Patti.

Patti - this is so perfectly composed and gives a true feeling of tranquilty! Roses aren't the only beauty in nature to stop and 'smell' ... very well done!

I just voted on "Nature's Dream" and I must say it is one of the most beautiful images I have ever had the pleasure to view. You masterfully captured the essence of how gorgeous nature is in just the blink of an eye. This one is priceless.............Neil

This is quite a visual delight.Well done.!!

This is breathtaking Patti! Thanks for sharing this beauty with us..=)

True beauty, thanks for sharing with us!

Most superb! Awesome play of light and shadow, clarity and color, and the angle is perfect!
