Lamps in Corfu, a photo from Kerkyra, Ionian Islands

Photographer's Note

Buildings in the main square, "plateia ton liston".
[The town of Corfu stands on the broad part of a peninsula, whose termination in the Venetian citadel is cut off from it by an artificial fosse formed in a natural gully, with a salt-water ditch at the bottom, that serves also as a kind of marina and is called Kontrafossa. The old city, having grown up within fortifications, where every metre of ground was precious, is a labyrinth of narrow streets paved with cobblestones, sometimes tortuous but colourful and clean. These streets are known as "kantounia" and the older amongst them sometimes follow the gentle irregularities of the ground; while many are too narrow for vehicular traffic. A promenade rises by the seashore towards the bay of Garitsa, together with an esplanade between the town and the citadel known as Spianada with "Liston" to its west side, where restaurants and bistros abound]

Hi Vasilis,
You isolated a great picture here, a great composition, eye catching and very aestetic ... i'm missing some more sharpness there but that doesn't disturb me from appreciating this one a lot

Βασίλη καλημέρα,
πολύ καλή μινιμαλιστική φωτό με τις λάμπες του κτηρίου αυτού του Συγκρότημα κτιρίων στη δυτική πλευρά της Σπιανάδας.Η ονομασία Λιστόν, κατά την σωστότερη εκδοχή, σημαίνει φαρδύ δρόμο περιπάτου, επικρατεί όμως η άποψη ότι προέρχεται από παραφθορά της αγγλικής λέξης on the list ή η αριστοκρατία που ήταν λίστα και η μόνη που μπορούσε να κυκλοφορήσει στην πλατεία αυτή.

Σε χαιρετώ,Δάνος
