Photographer's Note
Cape Sounion ( is a promontory located 69 km (43 mi, by road) SSE of Athens, at the southernmost tip of the Attica peninsula in Greece.
Cape Sounion is noted as the site of ruins of an ancient Greek temple of Poseidon, the god of the sea in classical mythology. The remains are perched on the headland, surrounded on three sides by the sea. The ruins bear the deeply engraved name of English Romantic poet Lord Byron (1788 - 1824).
The site is a popular day-excursion for tourists from Athens, with sunset over the Aegean Sea, as viewed from the ruins, a sought-after spectacle.

Lovely view here: I like the shades of colur you captured in the sky and the clouds framing the setting sun. Good depth and sharpness.

Hi Dimitrios
the black cloud looks like ashes coming from a volcanoe (the island).
Good sunset colors.
Cheers
