Corfu landscapes, a photo from Kerkyra, Ionian Islands

Photographer's Note

Corfu or Kerkyra is a Greek island in the Ionian Sea. It is the second largest of the Ionian Islands and, including its small satellite islands, forms the northwesternmost part of Greece. The island is part of the Corfu regional unit, and is administered as a single municipality, which also includes the smaller islands of Ereikoussa, Mathraki and Othonoi. The municipality has an area of 610,9 km2, the island proper 592,8 km2. The principal city of the island and seat of the municipality (pop. 32,095) is also named Corfu.

Corfiotes have a long history of hospitality to foreign residents and visitors. Up until the early 20th century, it was mainly visited by the European royals and elites, including Emperor Wilhelm II of Germany and Empress Elisabeth of Austria; today it is also widely visited by middle class families (primarily from the UK, Scandinavia and Germany). With the advent of the jet airliner bringing these groups relatively affordable 'package holidays', Corfu was one of the primary destinations for this new form of mass tourism. It is still popular with the ultra-wealthy however, and in the island's northeast the homeowners include members of the Rothschild family and Russian oligarchs -from Wikiped

Witaj Piotrze, Ładne zdjęcie z Korfu.przypomina mi moją wycieczkę do błękitnej Laguny. Wspaniały gęsty las, ładne łki na wodzie.
Wczoraj poszłam sprawdzic temperaturę wody na Cyprze i okazała sie tak ciepła, cieplejsza niz w Albanii, że sie kapałam i nie chciało mi się z wody wychodzic! W połowie grudnia.
Pozdrawiam jeszcze z Cypru

Hello Piotr,
Wonderfully captured this corner in Corfu island. The trail that "emerging" from the forest is an eyes catching object.
Good combination of blue and green.
Have a nice new day,
Ike

Hello Piotr,
A lovely view of the coastline with a very appealing mix of cliffs and trees. The three boats are well included in the foreground and provide a nice and relaxing summer mood. I like the lighting and the soft colours too.

Hello Piotr,
It's a pleasant view of the three boats and people enjoying a perfect day in early summer. The steep hills covered with a dense forest create a fine backdrop to the sea.
Kind regards,
Gert

Bonjour Piotr,

Le plaisir de la voile, c'est souvent de la baisser et de profiter de l'endroit, � l'ancre, sans bouger mais en se laissant bercer par les vagues dans un coin de pays magnifique.

Amicalement

Serge

Czesc Piotr,
uroczy relaksujacy widok w rzeczy samej.
Podobaja mi sie kolory jakby pastelowe, z lekko fioletowym niebem.
Lodki wlasnie dodaja takich uspokajajacych elementow.
Piekna wyspa, podobno najbardziej zielona z Greckich wysp.
Pozdrawiam serdecznie,
M
