Hello Costantino,
The upper part of this church is surely very beautiful.
The domes have a very pretty blue-red-white combination.
Presented from a good angle to show us the tower and domes side by side.
Excellent clarity and sharpness.
Best regards, Paul

Hello Costantino,
This architecture is very beautiful and interesting. There seems to be a meeting of different elements. I like the stone walls and the colorful dome. The clock tower is also attractive. I like the way you composed this scene.

Hello Costantino

A good close up shot of this attractive Orthodox Greek Church in Karlovasi. I like the warm cold color contrasts between the red and cyan and the honey colored yellow walls and blue sky. Tfs!

Hi Costantino,
what a beautiful architecture. I like very much the Byzantine style and this is such a wonderful example if it. I like how the top part has been freshly restored and painted in the bright colors. This is so picturesque. Your close up allows us to focus on the charming details.
Beautiful work,
M

Geia sou Costantino Outstanding architeture, of course, and most-interesting is the perfect visual balance conveyed by the thin campanile, compared to these duomos at right. Impeccable photo technique. Se xereto.

Hi, again,
I listened the radio today, they said the St. Nicolas relics are going to Moscow from Italian Bari. I am not so big expert in this theme, but I think this is big pleasure for the Russian Orthodox Christians. Your post of this church reminds me that news.
Very nice colors, very marvelous details of the buildings.
Best wishes,
Serghei
