Monemvasia 40 church, a photo from Lakonia, Peloponnesus

Photographer's Note

Monemvasia 40 church!!! The small old town consists of narrow cobbled streets and a complex network of stone houses that are clustered around the seaward side of the island and spread up the side of the massive hill. The fortress was built by the Venetians in the 16th century and the climb to the top is an exhilarating experience! An 18th century Turkish traveller said 'You can find everything you want in this city except water.The views over the old town are breath-taking and the sight of the Byzantine Church of Agia Sophia, perched precariously on the cliff, is well worth the effort!

MY THEME:
**Monemvasia**

Hi Georgios

A marvellous blue sky with good sharpness & colour. Excellent textural details in the old stone walls. The path adds nice lead in lines. Tfs!

Hi Georgios,
A strong diagonal line is clearly dividing this picture. A well performed composition and a very fine scenery from this town.

Hello Georgios,
A good perspective along this ancient street with some interesting architecture on both sides. The two domes are well counter-balanced by each other. Very nice tones and textures.

Hi Georgios,
Just like the typical medieval city, architectures here are majority exposed the original stone walls without paint, good pov to show architectures beside a narrow street, this is a lovely old town, distinct photo in a sunny day, good shoot.

Σαν να περπατάω στα σοκάκια, να δώ εκκλησιές σάν κι αυτήν, το σπίτι του Ρίτσου παρακάτω και τα ερείπια απο το φρούριο. Ενα απο τα ιερά μέρη της πατρίδας μας πού μέσα απο τήν φωτογραφία σου δείχνει απλότητα αλλά και μεγαλοπρέπεια!
