This is the Greek island of Santorini, a real paradise for photographs and vacations presented into 2 photo collages.
In case some of you might ask which software does this, it is "Fotofusion"
I went to Athens with my better half, Julia, to celebrate an important anniversary last year for a couple of days in January and the weather was surprisingly mild and clear, if a little windy. I know Athens is not the same as being in the islands but I was pleasantly surprised how nice it was and visiting the Acropolis was fantastic. I wish we had time to go out to some of the islands - one day.

PS If I was to be a little fussy, some of the sky hues are not very realistic, but I'm really only nit-picking (if you understand what I mean!)

Hi Ian,
A couple of days in Athens is only enough to visit a few cafes only. You need to spend over a week in Athens to be able to appreciate its beauty. It is a huge city (actually the biggest I've seen so far in terms of area that occupies, aroun 4.000 square kiliometers) and generally Greece has very good weather isince it is the southest country in the European Meditteranean Coast side. 2 years ago, I remembered we had 28C for about a week in beginning of January, and many people went swimming those days.
If you want to visit Athens during winter, do that during Christmas time since the entire city is dressed up with billions of christmas lights. The city's lighting doubles those days and even at night you have the feeling that is late afternoon.
I wouldn't insist you to visit Athens during the summer because the temperatures hit 42-44C and even all public transportation, taxis, stores, buildings are all air-conditioned you will end up sitting and relaxing somewhere inside, instead of being out exercising your photography sport :-)
Here is a link in English (actually it is an Italian website) that has some information about Athens. If you take the tour suggested on the left side you can record some places in order to visit them the next time you come to Athens, even though I would like you to contact me and I will guide you around Athens to take photos.

Indeed the sky hues in some photos are not realistic, but that post was to show presentation of place through a photo collage.
I made the post in the main page of the forum where are all different threads and I don't know how it appeared in the photo critique section.
Maybe I did something wrong since I'm not so much used to this forum interface yet. Give sometime and I will find my way around and get better.
I also have sometimes little troubles with the forum. For example there have been times that I needed to try to log in 3-4 times in order for the system to accept me logging, or sometimes if I'm logged in and inactive for awhile, I get automatically logged out.
Is there a specific area in the forum for questions like this, because I also have some other questions like: if I can attach images to the posts from an ftp site, instead of a http.

Yes, we were there for three nights and it was barely enough, but we visited the Acropolis and the surrounding parks and ruins, the big museum and open-fronted shops (rather like a permanent market). We also went to the coast for dinner one evening. We walked everywhere, apart from the trip to the coast, when we took the metro.
It was early January and lots of the Christmas decorations were still up - does the Greek Orthodox Christmas happen later than 25th December - that was my impression.
I'm not sure why you are the experiencing forum problems you indicated. Are you doing anything unusual with cookie management in your browser?
I'm not aware of an ftp image facility - how is this better than url placement, message attachments or uploading to the gallery and displaying from there using the UBB code?

OK, you did some things for a 3 day period. Hopefully next time you will have some more time to visit some more places.
Aaaa...no! The Greek Christmas is not longer than the rest of the Christmas in the rest of the world. It is just that the city's mayor puts up the lights one month before Christmas and keeps them up for almost one month after Christmas.
I don't know either why I experience these slight problems with the forum.
Let's see how things will be in the future and if the problems persist, I will notify you for that. The truth is that I don't experience any problem on the Greek photo site www.dpgr.gr that uses the same forum type. Anyway...let's wait for awhile and see (I will also check my web browser along with the cookies issue).
I asked for the ftp facility (if this is possible of course), since I have access to one and I can upload pictures there too, without filling up my gallery space and especially when I want to upload some photos that show comparisons and stuff like that and are not actually for photo appreciation purposes.
Can I upload in my gallery here at DPnow any photo at any size I wish and the photo to appear exactly in the same size also if attached to a post?
So far it looks that any picture I upload, no matter what size it is originally, it will be resized automatically by the system and by a standard preset ratio.

If you have some ftp space on the Web, can you not determine the http url for images stored there and use the 'Insert Image' button in the toolbar (Advanced edit mode) in the forum? This 'deep links' the image but does not physically copy it to our server. The attachment manager is different again and uploads from your PC or copies from a url images to be shown as thumbnails in your message.
The gallery is separate and copies images to its database, either from your local PC or from another location on the web (url). It does re-size the image to show it as a thumbnail and as a medium sized image, but as long as the size does not exceed a certain dimension, it should not be resized in the largest view.

Hi Archangel,
The photo collages are great, a pleasent and interesting and eye/attention catching way to present your images.
