Photographer's Note
Quite a long time ago, I uploaded one more sunset photo from the same place, the "Agora" in the Olympic complex of Athens (if you want to see the "old" photo and read some info about, ***CHECK HERE***).
This photo was taken on the very same day. The first one was taken from "inside" the "Agora", this one was taken from the "outside". I used a 2X extender on my 70-200mm lens (that's why the focal length is 400mm), trying to "compress" the perspective.
So, here we have the same subject, the same light conditions, but a totally different result, don't you think?
***A WALK IN ATHENS (THEME)***

Hello Hercules,
Good in both picture on same place, excelent graphic scene.
As usualy you enhance color's compo., the outcome in fantastic ( everyone sees in a diff. way).
The f11 apartur allow not to conflict with backlight-effect of the sun.

Bonjour Hercules,
Je m'en veux d'avoir raté ton premier post du stade olympique car il était tout simplement éblouissant. Mais TE fonctionne tellement mal récemment que quelques fois je me décourage. Très belle composition graphique et belle utilisation des infrastructures.
Bon weekend

Ciao Hercules,
composizione molto originale, mi piace l'effetto del sole al tramonto filtrato dalla rete in primo piano, ovviamente spettacolari i colori.
Un caro saluto e un buon WE.

Well done!

Merhaba Giritli, I was really surprised by reading your decision to leave. It's a big loss for TE which I don't care. But it's a great loss for all of us who enjoy looking at your wonderful photos.Trekearth is getting deserted day by day.
I am not a fan of Facebook which I enter very rarely...But from now on, I will sign up more frequently to visit your gallery.
Best regards, Tolga
P.S. Some leaving people delete all their photos which really makes me feel sad. You did the best for keeping your memories.

bye Hercules!
I can not believe it, I do not understand, it's amazing, I have no words for this too sad final sunset, for my taste, and also to all your TE friends,
you are one of my favorites, what a pity,
I learned a lot just by watching your works,
so I thank you for that, and also for your critiques always positive and encouraging,
and wish you good luck, hoping very much that you reconsider your decision!
Valérie.

Hello Dear Hecules,
13 is usually not my unlucky number, but this date seems to be proving me wrong. It seems like a black day for TE... Seeing you leave is a particular loss, not only for me. Your photos have been immensely inspirational, as have your notes and your (often too) kind critiques.
As I have already written to Clio and in my FB note to you last night, this avalanche of withdrawals from the site has gotta be a wake-up call for the management, and if not, then a call to arms for the members. In you, we are losing not only a great photographer, a vital contributor to the site and a dear friend, but also a comrade in arms who has never been afraid to speak in the face of injustice, for which you have my great respect. Hope we can still do something to turn this place back into something that will be worthwile for you and the others who have left to participate in...
As usual, your choice of picture for the occasion is extremely appropriate, with perfect composition, excellent sharpness, flawless light management and wonderful colours. My compliments.
Kisses,
Dasha

Hola Hercules,
Siento mucho que te vayas de TE por tus maravillosas fotos. Es una gran pérdida para el site, pero tendrás tus razones y las respeto.
Te despides con una impresionante puesta de sol a través del Ágora del complejo olímpico de Atenas.
Bello grafismo de la estructura con una bonita luz.
Buen trabajo.
Y gracias por haber compartido tus fotos.
Un abrazo, Carlos

Hi Hercules,
It apparently was a misunterstanding, as you can see in the 'clean the air topic' in general forum.... Please reconsider, we can't lose you for a misunderstanding...
Oh, by the way, nice silhouettes and colours!

Hércules, no sé si estoy en lo cierto pero entendí que tú también te vas. Menudo palo! Me sabe fatal, mi gran referencia en TE se va. Una perdida para todos muy importante ya que tus fotos son un auténtico regalo. Espero que nos añores y vuelvas. Aquí no se está tan mal hombre! Por favor, vuelve pronto.
Un abrazo amigo,

Hello Hercules,
L'oeil attiré par un si beau graphisme, je ne peux que te complimenter.
Un magnifique cadrage qui fait la part belle à ces treillis métalliques avec un soleil rougeoyant superbement placé.
J'en ai profité pour visiter ta galerie qui est exceptionnelle et où je retrouve plein de thèmes, couleurs et graphismes qui me plaisent énormément.
Bravo et excellente journée,
Adriano
