Sunsets are breathtaking just about anywhere, but Radovan thinks this one at Cape Sounion near Athens even beats the sunset over the Morava, a river near his village. (Bending the rules a bit today, with three photos.)
Cape Sounion is renowned for the ruins of the ancient Temple of Poseidon, the god of the sea in classical mythology. The celebrated English Romantic poet (and destroyer of public property!) Lord Byron engraved his name somewhere on them! Radovan looked and looked, but couldn't find it.
Here's a photo of all the visitors getting ready for their own personal sunset shoot.

These are just spectacular pictures. The first in particular is, as you say, greathtaking. I love all 3.
As they are three great photos we'll let you off!! That is a beautiful sunset, its a shame you weren't alone to enjoy it! :)
Oh i love that first photo, i hope they all got some great sunset shots, looks like a neat place to visit
Oh my that first picture is spectacular. I just of it!
That view is obviously worth waiting with a bunch of other people for a spectacular sunset picture!
Sure hope Radovan had sunscreen with him :)
Bibi: These a some wonderful SWF shots, nicely done.
Your sunset is a showstopper . I am absolutely awestruck. Wonderful!
I love the tourists. Brings back memories. These are wonderful sky shots.
Nice shots! I love the way you positioned Radovan amongst the ruins in the second one.
"Louis" agrees with Radovan!
Spectacular sunset!
Great photos! The sunset is stunning!
awesome light you've captured!
You bent know rules with 3 pictures... the top one by the river is beautiful..... and the last.. well all those sky watches out and about having fun.. ha!..well captured.
Breathtaking indeed. I love Radovan pondering the ancient columns. His pose is so characteristic of his countrymen of that generation. :)
Thank you for your comment Bibi.
Very nice shot of sunset. I love to visit Greece. I'm sure you'd like Iran if you visit it. We have lots of historical places which remains from ancient Persian civilization, King Cyrus.
Have you ever heard about Persepolis? Visit this page for some interesting information and photos.

Great photos here.
Splendid colours and lighting.
I like the soft ripples... very calming.
Fantastic shots - I bet Radovan was impressed!
Oh, how I long to see those views again - thanks for getting me part-way there!

Interesting shots...
Hope you are enjoying a great Sky Watch Friday, or what's left of it for you...
Here's to rule breaking! How the light changes around the world. Mad, Bad, and Dangerous to know Byron a grafitti artist! I am shocked to the core on this news. A wonderful poet and hero to the Greeks so I shall forgive him. Marvellous collection, all so different. Radovan has chosen places to visit on his hols!
They're all great shots! Do any of those people do SkyWatch.
