aginbyte 0 Posted January 12, 2008 ... such a wonderful sight, the church tower emerging from the village, the village flowing down to the old bridge. Well done. Link to comment

mareval 2 Posted January 13, 2008 What a beautiful image, with all elements and details. Good work!! Regards. Link to comment
thadley 15 Posted January 13, 2008 An excellent image with so much to take in: the buildings, the bridge, the sheep, the water, the variety of color. One very small point and it could be my monitor calibration, but the water at the bottom right looks a tad light. It does not take away the enjoyment of this image though. Regards, Link to comment
bartimeus1 0 Posted January 13, 2008 If I ever come to Greece and I have enouhg time, I really consider visiting this place. That bridge is so different than the bridges in here and the overall atmoshpere is very inviting. Beautiful and peaceful capture! Alpo Link to comment
vicenteconcha 8 Posted January 13, 2008 Excellent landscape, where the village is merged with nature. The tower, the bridge, the river and the flock, basic elements in this great composition. Best wishes. Vicente. Link to comment

jeffl7 0 Posted January 16, 2008 A beautiful scene. I particularly like the color palette in this one, which seems to work well to create a sleepy, serene mood. Link to comment
photis santamouris 23 Posted January 16, 2008 For generous ratings,suggestions and comments.Being horribly behind,it may be is too late to give some background info on the history of the place. World War II had already begun in the mountains of Pindos ,back in 1940.The hostile invasion which started on Oct.28th was finally stopped here in November,right on that bridge you see,where a division of well equipped armed alpinists had reached after sliding for many days on the snowy slopes of steep cliffs during heavy snowfall.Here was the utmost fighting position they had ever reached.After their defeat,they retreated and finally left the nation's ground.That wasn't of course the end of the war,because their allies ,which were at the time an unbeatable army,attacked the country from the north,after conquering the Balkans,and The horrible Occupation begun till October 10th 1944.The name of the village is Vovoussa,in Epirus,for those interested.
