calm_atmosphere, a photo from Magnisia, Thessaly

Photographer's Note

Calm: an adjective meaning peaceful, quiet; particularly used of the weather, free from wind or storm, or of the sea, opposed to rough. The word appears in French calme, through which it came into English, in Spanish, Portuguese and Italian calma. Most authorities follow Diez (Etym. Worterbuch der romanischen Sprachen) in tracing the origin to the Low Latin cauma, an adaptation of Greek Kaiii,ua, burning heat, xalECV, to burn. The Portuguese calma has this meaning as well as that of quiet. The connection would be heat of the day, rest during that period, so quiet, rest, peacefulness. The insertion of the L, which in English pronunciation disappears, is probably due to the Latin calor, heat, with which the word was associated

Hello Georgios,
A pretty composition of these two little boats with their reflections. I like the juxtaposition between the two boats and the curving shoreline. Very pleasing soft light and colours and good clarity.

Hi Georgios,
Yes calmness is what you presented here. Very nice positioning of the boats of contrasting colors and a structure in ruin. Nice curvature of the shoreline and beautiful trees dotting the slope. I also like the ripples and their reflective surface. Well done. Have a good week. Regards. Latiff.

I see I have arrived in your gallery at an opportune moment to congratulate you on 300 posts. Congratulations!
There is a wonderful circular theme to this image, firstly from the curve of the water's edge but also the shape of the reflected light in the foreground. The calmer part of the water is a good surface to reflect the little boats. Well done

Congratulations for your 300 posts!
You've chosen a good title for this compo and handled well the light condition...The ripples are a good starting point leading the viewer to the boats and their reflection.
All the best

Γεια Georgios,
Συγχαρητήρια για τη φωτογραφία σας 300!
Μεγάλη είναι πολύ βαθύ και υπέροχο φως. Μου αρέσει η αντίθεση μεταξύ των σκαφών και την ουσία, αυτά τα ελαιόδεντρα που εμφανίζονται. Μπράβο.
Με τις καλύτερες ευχές,
Charo
