Port of Ermoupolis Photo

Photographer’s Note

‘Syros: Port of Ermoupolis’

The picture is taken on top of the hill of Ano Syros.
Close to this town (already founded in the 13th century), people coming from Chios and Psara founded a new town in 1820. This new town, Ermoupolis, grew rapidly.

In the late 19th century it was the leading industrial center and port in Greece.
From 1890 on Piraeus became the first port in the country.
Today Ermoupolis is still the hub of sea traffic between the Cycladic islands.

hi Paul

Very impressive perspective view of the harbour and really very good shot of such a lovely place from Greece. I think the architecture is very characteristic feature of Greek landscape. This is a fine TE post!

Ciao dear Paul,
a kaleidoscope of colors that magnificently opposes with the blue of the sea. The diagonals of the port and of the ship with its wake build in really pleasant way this beautiful composition. Perfect sharpness. Compliments!
Ciao, have a nice week!

Paul,
This is a well composed shot of the different layers of the buildings and water. The boat gives the scene a sense of motion and direction. The lighting and colors are great with nice sharpness and detail.
TFS,

From your lofty POV you have captured a wonderful pattern of horizontal stripes. Even the ship is playing the game as you can include the wake. The colours are lovely.

Hello Paul,

Amazing Aegean scene full with summer beauties and smells history. Great capture of port buildings and including busy, authentic Greek architecture at foreground. The giant blue vessel and red one says how popular the Ermoupolis while it's also easily recognizable from the cars on quay. Excellent quality of capture, congratulations. Have a nice new week.

Best Regards,

Ertugrul

Olá Paul, splendid view from above with another impressive presence of a big ship. It's perfectly placed in the composition to give continuation to the rhythm started with the two first layers of land. It's a pitty it doesn't have a more contrasted color with the sea but its trace behind also helps for the geometry of lines in compo. Good to see another piece of land on upper right corner completing the pattern.
best regards,
ricardo

Hi Paul,

What an impressive shot. I love the repreated forms in the form of the ship and the wakes of it and the narrow tongue of land and the pier. Very, very attractive. Really good timing and very well spotted. TFS and have a nice weekend!
