With winter solstice less than a month away, the opportunity was used to pursue the setting sun from the seaside resort area of Oropos northeast of Athens and whose history dates to the time of the golden age of ancient Greece. The foreground is the Church of Agia Eleousa which lies atop a mountain at an altitude of approximately 165 meters (500 feet). The photo was taken from a distance of 3495 meters away to the east of Agia Eleousa so as to yield a reasonable balance in the aspect ratio involving the foreground church and setting sun as well as to provide the ideal azimuth and altitude for these photos to be possible.
