Photographs of nature, places and objects that have caught my eye.

Φωτογραφίες απο την φύση, απο τόπους και αντικείμενα που μου χτύπησαν στο μάτι.

The setting sun. The rising moon. Το ηλιοβασίλεμα. Η ανατολή του φεγγαριού.

The sun is hiding behind a layer of clouds at the distant horizon, painting them with its glorious colors.
Ο ήλιος που κρύβεται πίσω από ένα στρώμα νεφών στον μακρυνό ορίζοντα τα βάφει με τα λαμπερά του χρώματα.
Less than an hour later a red full moon is rising over the distant hills.
Λιγότερο από μια ώρα αργότερα, μια κόκκινη πανσέληνος ανεβαινει αργά πάνω από τους μακρυνούς λόφους.
PS. The photographs were taken this evening, a couple of hours ago.
ΥΓ. Οι φωτογραφίες τραβήχτηκαν απόψε, πριν κανα-δυό ώρες.

Your captures are beyond superb, beyond awesome! They're amazing and they should all be framed! The colors are breathtaking, dramatic! You really outdid yourself this time, Costas, and I'm so glad I've had the opportunity to view them!
