banner of February 8, 2012
| title | Rhodope Mountains, Bulgaria |
| location | Bulgaria |
| info | Although inhabited for thousands of years, the Rhodopes still harbor in their bosom wild places that seem to be untouched by humans. The Rhodopes are one of the few mountain ranges in Europe where the Brown Bear and Wolf still breeds. Old-growth forests are home to deer, elk, fox, wild goat, and other rare European species. The Eastern part of the Rhodopes is a true heaven for bird lovers but the western part should not be overlooked as it contains over 200 species, many of them quite rare. |

[137] dia on February 8, 2012 10:52:03
We had many banners without skyscrapers, just "normal" buildings, but we can't have a village? Back in the time people were building their houses/villages in harmony with nature. We should be open-minded and think that every building, a skyscraper of a normal house, can be in accordance with nature. This banner reminds us all this simple fact.
[136] Spencer on February 8, 2012 10:41:15
5/5 Very picturesque, and as someone said earlier, looks a little bit like Rivendell ;)
[135] Oranje Strijder on February 8, 2012 10:29:44

[120] vectom on February 8, 2012 07:11:42
#Turnovec, I'm refering to the people who moderate this website, of course. But also, as this is a forum website, it means we members have the right to speak about it, as we all develop it by our contributions. I am not saying this is the first photo of this kind, of course, I'm saying that this kind of photos repeat recently, and the point of a banner is getting lost slowly during time. I don't care if it's Bulgaria represented by it, or any other spot on the planet. On the same logic I give points, and that is absolutely objective (as possible) opinion about the banner, so no, you won't see me adding extra points to 'friendly' countries if the banner is not okay. So please take my point in the right way, let's escape local patriotisms please.
[119] kolfblanco on February 8, 2012 06:50:37

[114] Turnovec on February 8, 2012 06:18:56
@vectom, Here's another shot of the same place, the same autumn morning: http://img.photo-forum.net/site_pics//panorama/i_1320653464_PA306782_2000.jpg . Now tell this is PHOTOSHOP!!! If the photo does not obey the rules, it's the owners of the site bussiness to say that the image does not qualify, not you. If they allowed it, then it's OK. And don't worry, there is plenty more beautiful banners to come from Bulgaria, not only with rural or nature scenes, so i hope there will be a nice suprise for those like you who seek for something else.
[113] OldKool on February 8, 2012 06:14:23
5/5 best no skyscraperal banner eva
[112] vectom on February 8, 2012 06:09:43
@difian, all I'm saying is that this forum/banner_place is, in my opinion, wrong location on the internet for competitions of heavy dozed Photoshop/GIMP files not even related with the rules of the website that relate with banners. Banners should represent something else, not someone's skills in photography photoshopping with catchy scene. Now, if this is a localpatriot intent to get the points and promote a country, well, then okay, but it's pointless to us who seek for something else.
[111] jbudzynski on February 8, 2012 06:05:01

@vetcom: The Civil engeneriing and construction haven't started with the first scrapers. If you try, you can see the houses on the right of the picture. And they are more beautiful and in harmony with the nature than the new enormous and oversized buildings...
