Hi Mehmet,

What a wonderfully composed picture showing the effects of the drought in Cyprus. Judging from this scene Cyprus must be a beautiful place. Excellent colors and depth in this shot. This is a familiar sight to me. Several years ago I saw the same thing at a reservoir in the Colorado Rockies. I have lived in Tucson for more than ten years and have never seen a drop of water on our river. I look forward to more posts of your trip.

geçen yazdan bile kötü Mehmet. üstelik daha baharın ortasındayız. çekim güzel de haberler değil. inşallah herkes aklını başına alır, Türkiye'de de salma "vahşi" sulamadan vaz geçilir. yavruvatana ve bütün ekibinize kucakdolusu selamlar, sevgiler.

Hello Mehmet,

Very nice well-composed picture. Excellent POV and DOF. Very nice light and colours. Drought in some areas and too much rain in others. That is a disaster for some species, and certainly in the islands.
Cheers,
Mariki

Hi Mehmet,
Yes it is clearly visible from this scenery of yours. A well captured image and it tells how hot it is there. Hope some rain soon. Thanks a lot for sharing.

Hello Mehmet,
interesting shot and you choose a very good advantage point to capture the receding water level.
One really gets a good look on the effect the dry spell has on the area.

Selam Hocam,
Ahmet Hocanın da dediği gibi, resim çok güzel ama değindiğiniz konu üzücü.
Doğa bu değişimlere karşı önlemini mutlaka alacaktır ama tabi ki geçiş sürecinde de değişiklikler (hayvan popülasyonlarında vs.) olması kaçınılmaz.
Ancak insan faktörü olduğu sürece bu zor gibi görünüyor, bilinçsizlik küresel ısınmadan çok daha büyük bir sorun bence.
Saygılar

Hello Mehmet,
An excellent landscape showing a small lake with low water in Cyprus and a good reminder of what we are doing to this planet.
Nice composition and light management.
Thanks you for for sharing this beautiful but sad image,

Mehmet Bey gerçekten güzel bir noktaya deyinmişsiniz. Bu göletin su dolu halini hatırlıyorum. Umarım birgün yine eski haline dönerde o halinide fotoğraflandırırsınız. İyi günler...

Hello Mehmet,
Thank you very much for your kind words on my recent picture.
Your picture of the shrunk lake is a sure sign of GW hitting everywhere including Cyprus.
This summer I will try to go up into the Himalayas to photograph some shrinking glaciers and share the pictures here on TN in case I make it.
The picture you have shown here indicates that the hillsides on the other side of the lakelet are dry and parched without the winter rains.
The monsoons in our country are also behaving erratically for quite sometime.
Thanks for your insightful note with the image.

Gran naturalidad en el color. Una observación: por la flora y terreno es casi calcado al de muchas zonas de aquí ...

Hello Mehmet,
I'm very sorry to see and hear about the drought on Cyprus! We have plenty of water in Sweden and I wish we could send you some although it's been unusually dry and warm here in the south too lately. The drought is very well captured here, it's also interesting to see where you've been searching for frogs.
Many thanks and regards, Ulla

Hi Mehmet,
Wonderful shot of this dwindling lake and the surrounding mountains. Very good documentary shot and you portray the global warming phenomenon and its repurcussions well. Very neat and sharp image with clear details and nice colours. Excellent POV and composition. Kudos.
TFS.

Hello Mehmet!
First of all - the title of presentation was very interesting for me, and that is the first reason why I decided to see this picture. Global warming is a very huge problem, I really saw the effects of this process when I was on Spitsbergen...
Anyway, the picture is really nice, and as for me it is a perfect habitat for my favourite insect group - tiger beetles :)
Water, sand, sandy place - nothing more is necesary for this creatures :)
Anyway, it is not funny to read about Rana species and water birds. I really hope that finally human will start take care about the world and smaller creatures...
Best greetings from Poland!

It is always sad to read something like that yet it is reality. I am also impressed by the work of so many people, beginning to take care of life and nature on this planet. Congratulations for a stunning picture, its sad reality, and the undertakings you and other people pursue. Thank you!
