[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
The mountains surround Athens making a huge stadium. I climbed up such a mountain using hands and from time to time feeling adrenaline. On the top I was met by a military guard. Being surprised to see a civilian who showed up from the steep slope, he asked where I was from (I said, Levkorossija, which means Belarus) and ordered to get out immediately from that prohibited area.

Well, how rude of him. Why should he get all the nice views and lovely wild flowers? At least you got a nice photo to remember your scramble up to forbidden territory.

I like the composition you chose with the interesting foreground. Just for fun I wanted to see if I could get a little more saturation in the hazy valley and the very light sky so I did a quick workshop. I'll have to post it tomorrow though.

Thanks for sharing

Hi Aleksei,
What a beautiful view, with such great colors in the flowers in the f/g. I like the composition with the diagonal line half way through the photo. The hazy b/g looks like it is from the smog above Athens.
TFS,
Niek
