What an amazing image. The forms are so interesting. I might have moved just a little to the left so that the cross at the top of the road church wouldn't be obscured by the trees. The colors are very nice.

Oh Yiannis, I am so impressed I don't know what to say...

Beautiful, deep saturation! Evokes a sense of hopefulness in spite of the starkness. Excellent image, Yiannis.

Very interesting and cute little Church... What is it used for? Do people stop and pray there?

@Sandrine: these little road churches are made by people they had an traffic accident at that place, and they make this to thank god for beeind alive
Impressive tones and color. The falling tree behind the church adds a bit of disquiet.

unique excellent photo

I like the windswept harshness to the land around the little church. A striking image, made more so by the lonliness of the landscape

great composition and muted color. i'd never heard of these road churches before. can a person even fit inside of it? it looks so small.

@danthro: no you can not go in - they are very small just some pictures and a candle - see and tomorrows post and this: http://krikis.aminus3.com/portfolio/59.html
Very unique and something I've never seen before. I like how you've desaturated this.

Excellent image, yiannis! Love the muted tones and of course that mood you're always so great at setting.

This building is very interesting, great capture here. It could double as a roadside coffee stand.

An exceptional find and, again, so lovingly presented.

great image, love the unique style you have..

Marvelous shot, after reading your response to Elaine, the shot is so much more poignant. In Cape Town, loved ones place crosses and wreaths at the site of fatal road accidents, as a reminder for others to be carefull.

Excellent! It looks very small. I see no one sees it as I see it. Is it a make believe church (toy) or a real building where you can go in....

Magnificent image and processing. I never knew what to call these when in Greece. I like "Road Church" It was amazing when I first saw how many there were. This shot is very well done, although if it was possible at the time I would have framed it so the tree was off to the side not out of the roof. Only a thought.

great shot...love the textures, colors and details...especially the trees:)
