  5. <p>Hello dear Nikonistas! I wish everyone is having a good time! Love your photos so far, mine are from our recent trip to Crete, visiting the famous Matala Caves.<br> The <a title="Dugout (shelter)" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dugout_(shelter)">artificial caves</a> in the cliff of the Matala bay were created in the <a title="Neolithic Age" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neolithic_Age">Neolithic Age</a>. Matala was the port of <a title="Phaistos" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phaistos">Phaistos</a> during the <a title="Minoan civilization" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minoan_civilization">Minoan</a> period. In the year 220 BC. Matala was occupied by the Gortynians and during the Roman period Matala became the port of <a title="Gortys" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gortys">Gortys</a>. In the 1st and 2nd centuries the caves were used as tombs. One of the caves is called "Brutospeliana" because according to the legend it was frequented by the <a title="Rome" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rome">Roman</a> general <a title="Brutus" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brutus">Brutus</a>.<br> Matala was then a fishing village. In the 1960s the caves were occupied by <a title="Hippie" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hippie">hippies</a><sup id="cite_ref-1" ><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Matala,_Crete#cite_note-1">[1]</a></sup> who were later driven out by the church and the military junta. Now Matala is a small village living mainly from <a title="Tourism" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tourism">tourism</a>.<br> Canadian folk singer <a title="Joni Mitchell" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joni_Mitchell">Joni Mitchell</a>'s experiences with the Matala hippies were immortalised in her 1971 song <a title="Carey (song)" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carey_(song)">Carey</a>. (from Wikipedia)<br> All photos taken with D7000 and Nikon 16-35mm f/4, Enjoy!</p><div></div>
  6. Thanks for your attention dear friends!
  7. The bird looks troubled wondering what the horseman seeks in that foggy surrounding...is it for good or the evil is approaching? time to let the forest critters know about it, let's hope for the best... Another very good story from you my dear friend, Cheers!
  8. A wonderful landscape scene, deep earthly colors and a menacing sky along with springs makes someone want to be there and breathe the fresh air and admire the location. Thank you Alf for bringing us those "fresh" photos...cheers!

  13. Πολύ όμοφη Μιχάλη. Εκείνο που την κάνει να ξεχωρίζει είναι οι διάφορες συνθήκες που επικρατούσαν, από ήλιο μέχρι βροχή...μπράβο φίλε!
  14. I saw this (fearless) kitten approaching to explore what was the little thing I was holding in my hands...my compact camera went off and I was lucky enough to get that shot...his sister was watching from distance (More precautious). Kind of a selfie, what do you think? Please VIEW LARGER, Thank You!
  15. Software: Adobe Photoshop CS6 (Windows);
  16. Very good, liked it! Cheers!
