+Michael Menefee thank you! Yes, it was kind of a strange looking scene. I didn't go much closer than the point the photo was taken and even so, the sea was coming over me and I had to step back a few times till I could take this shot

haha +Andy Korolis! Yes, a glendi can take so many shapes and forms... And I'll surely join them at the next one, provided the sun is shining and there are no clouds in the sky :)

What an adventure +Julia Anna Gospodarou , and a beautiful image dragged up from the subconscious...but you and your friends probably have different ideas on what a glenti is :)

B-E-A-Utiful to steal a Jim Carrey line from Bruce Almighty. Very nice work! Would that all endeavors could be safe... :o)

Your determination and confidence to attempt to shoot in these conditions and then produce such a wonderful image are amazing to me! This is why I consider you an inspiration +Julia Anna Gospodarou! Reading your story, I felt like I was there by your side. Gazing into your image is like an infinite dream to me! I get lost in the mist and then I find the railing to lead me back into reality! This is so hard for me to take my eyes off of! :)

Great picture and of course a really great story. So I think its for you more than just a pic, its an amazing memory. Thanks for sharing it with us

It was worth the trip +Julia Anna Gospodarou !! Οthers get drunk with wine and others with the whole procedure of capturing dreamy shots like this!!!!

Great shot!!!

"I left them to finish the wine" Oh dear... :(

But it's a gorgeous shot!!

hi niloufar how r u

Seems like heaven... Nice

Superb!

sooo horreable

My dear +Athena Carey, good to see you back! :) If you ask me, it's from a dream, or a dream about a memory, but still a dream (okay, there must be something with me and the dreams, I think it's obvious tonight :D)
I'm so glad you like it, thank you!!! :) xo

Oh! +Julia Anna Gospodarou I have been away and you have posted an amazing photo! It's like a delicate memory, one that flits in and back out quickly from my mind before I can grasp it fully. Is it a real memory, or one from a dream? Was I there? Will I ever be again? ~sigh~ I love it my dear!

+Laurent Miaille thanks a lot!! Your work is wonderful too! I was just wondering why I still didn't have you in my circles :)

+Tulip Hazarika +Hally Robinson +Jing Xue +Jason Pope +Hungry Traveler +Ashok kumar +Don Ciomei +Leonor De Jesus thank you so much for your comments! Have a good day! :)

Excellent work, superb composition and great mood !!

Amazing!

Haha, you steamy hunk!! :)))) +Alex Bazeos I see silly is good for us! :))

Hey, for that shot, nature's challenge was light

He he, thanks for the reply you hot chick!

+ALI HASHMI +SREE D +Heru Perdanakusumah thanks for stopping by! :)
+John Hatchel you're funny!!! :)))

Haha +Laurent Coppée! Thanks for joking along! :))

steaming hot even :))

+Alex Bazeos I'm glad you understand me, I'm sure you understand me, actually. Thank you for your kind words. And yes, someone has to be whining at some point, I became used to that. It's part of the process. :)
And you know, I don't really have to understand everything people here say. As far as they are not cursing me :)), I'm grateful that they took the time to write even a word, or to hit the +1 button. I'm not that demanding, it's enough for me if they like my work :)
PS. some of the comments are really funny! :)))
+Jens Ceder thank you very much Jens! Really appreciate it! :)
+Laurent Coppée I'm in "what's hot"? Does that mean I'm hot?? Haha! OK, silly joke, couldn't help it! :))
+Nate Parker you don't know how much your words mean to me... Thank you! :)

COOL

Christ this is phenomenal +Julia Anna Gospodarou this would a majestic
Moody print make!

Yes, I had one of mine there too some time ago and had exactly the same problem...

exactly!

see, I told you!

+Alex Bazeos , I had the same issue last week ... Julia's post is in the what's hot ...

I think this will be the picture of our United States if Obama gets back in

Simply beautiful!!

btw I have a serious problem of understanding what a big percentage of people are saying here...

At various points of your narration I was wondering if it was you speaking or myself!

This is the (exact) story of my life of recent years, though mine usually ends with some spouse whining (not unreasonable I must admit...)

Enough about me though, this is a wonderful photo and a worthy reward of your efforts! Great compo and processing make up for a memorable photo! Must surely feel very satisfying!

i lik this bcz ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

I don't really know what happened, but I love it and it really is overwhelming! Thank you all so much for such a warm response to my post. I'm really happy that my photo (an my story) made so many people feel the urge to hit the +1 button and stop to leave a few thoughts. You really make me feel so good! :)
+Christos Andronis thanks a lot, Christo! I'm really happy you like it! :)
+Lorenzo Harmon thanks you!! I know this might seem strange, but I actually felt good being out there, despite the bad weather and the difficulties. Actually I was happy to have the chance to be there at that particular moment and be able to take a few shots. It was more like filling a need for me, than making an effort. :)
+Hidetaka Onoyama thank you so much, Hidetaka san! You're too kind! :)

+Pradeep Anugu I'm glad you like it! Thanks! :)
+Barbara Youngleson thank you so much Barbara! :)

You definitely have your priorities in order +Julia Anna Gospodarou! Moody, solemn and breathtaking image.

nice pic !!!!

Lonesome

You look like the female version of me +Julia Anna Gospodarou when it comes to determination! And what a fantastic shot. Everything that makes a good B&W image is in it. The highlights are so accurate in every way, as are the tonal gradations and the composition. Surely one of your best!

+Bertrand Chombart thanks a lot!! Your latest work is really getting better and better! I'm sure it's just a question of time to get in control and manage to make the image look exactly how you imagined it to be. And you know, I'm still learning, will always be! :)

+Andrew Sanigorski Haha! The way I'm going I'll be left without friends too. They even make it a condition sometimes, that I go out without my camera, otherwise I go alone :)) But I guess, whoever loves me, loves me for what I am, and I'm definitely that too. Thank you so much for your wonderful and funny words. Always a pleasure to read your thoughts on my photos. :)

Love that one +Julia Anna Gospodarou , great processing and tones control, exactly what i try reach ;)

Great story too, sorry i read it after ;)

Actually +Laurent Coppée it looks even better at night, in the dark, haha! That's why I prefer to work on my photos at night :) (and I'm not afraid of the ripper, I've got my lucky mouse pad to protect me :)))

What a women +Julia Anna Gospodarou I'm so impressed with your passion and endevour. I used to do the same thing to my friends too, not anymore - I just don't have friends!! just kidding. But boy was the result worth it, its truly amazing, the mood and misty water just so relaxing and surprisingly calm. Maybe we should be calling you Super Woman.

Haha not really captain hook, I was thinking about the ripper in last action hero lol but that's definitely the mood I get from this. I won't watch your photo alone at night in the dark lol

+Mark Thomas thank you for saying that word. It was exactly how I felt there ...despite the struggle with the elements :)
+Armand Dijcks Yes, sometimes you just have to leave that cozy warm place and the wine and get out there to feel the real feelings :) Thank you, Armand!
+Antonio Riva thank you for your wonderful and so meaningful comment. It enriches my photo and makes me happy when people say such beautiful things after seeing one of my images :)
+Joerg Jung I'm so very glad you like it! Thank you! And yes, I'm very passionate in everything I do ....just the way I am :)
+Tatiana Anfimova thanks a lot Tatiana! :)
+Laurent Coppée haha! You always make me laugh!! You mean Captain Hook, right? :))) You know, the first comment I heard on this shot was: "Now I'm waiting for the monster of Loch Ness to get its head out of the waves", and it was exactly what I meant with this image. Now what you say pleases me even more. Thank you, mon cher! :)
+Peter Sandin! Thank you! You said that right. It's more about madness than anything else, if we were to believe the science, but that's fine, as long as it's making us feel good. And friends are there to understand (hopefully :)
+Jorunn Gudlaugsdottir thank you so much Jorunn! I'm very glad you like it! :)

The story is engaging ... I had read it yet, just now ...
Very impressive result of your perseverance !

great shot with a beautiful mood. love it

Seriously beautiful photo +Julia Anna Gospodarou!! And we wonder why our friends don't understand our madness, sorry I meant passion of course!! Great job!

oh my, what a story and what a shot Julia! That is so gloomy, I expect to see some half dead fisherman with a hook in his hands walking up those stairs lol
Jokes aside the mood is incredible and that light makes this so mysterious. Brilliant work my dear :)

Wow!!!

+Julia Anna Gospodarou - great story and wonderful shot.
A really passionate photographer :)

The title expresses well the image,
but also represents a litmus test of our concept of eternity '...
Thanks for sharing your vision of eternity

I try to remember that above the clouds the sun always shines ...eternally.

Ahhh... the things one has to do to get a good shot :-) It was definitely worth the effort though. Amazing how the long exposure turns a raging sea into a quiet and meditative image like this.

endlessness

thanks a lot +John Kampsen! Glad you enjoyed them! :)

Great story , +Julia Anna Gospodarou , and a truly wonderful photo ! Thank you.
