Photographer's Note
Santorini,Geologic setting
The Cyclades are part of a metamorphic complex area known as the Cycladic Massif, which formed during the Miocene and were folded and metamorphosed during the Alpine Orogeny around 60 million years ago. Thera itself is built upon a small, non-volcanic basement that represents the former non-volcanic island which was approximately 9 by 6 km (5.6 by 3.7 mi) in size. The basement rock consists primarily of metamorphosed limestone and schist dating from the Alpine Orogeny. These non-volcanic rocks are exposed at the Profitis Ilias Mountains, Mesa Vouno, the Gavrillos ridge, Pyrgos, Monolithos, and the inner side of the caldera wall between Cape Plaka and Athinios.

The clouds pattern and the golden glow on sunset made an excellent sight, a "must-take" for photographers, Danos.
Golden glow over the caldera, beautifully shown.
Kalimera,

Hello Danos,
"Explosion" is a good word for these colours. Let's just hope there is never any new explosion of the volcano. The fantastic colours are enhanced by the shapes of the clouds, and the beauty of the view is underscored by the contours of the buildings, especially the tower so well seen against the lighter part of the sky. It is a well composed and excellently exposed photo.
Kind regards,
Gert

Hi Danos
What a stunner with that fiery textured skyscape and almost burning red but it lends the total nature beauty of the shot. It's a much stronger with right positioning of the semi silhouettes edifices makes an awesome sight to witness. Remarkable & visual tranquility well captured exceptionally well in this balanced composed image. A joy to view, Congrats.
Best regards

Une explosion de couleurs et de beauté. Un moment remarquable qui restera longtemps dans ta mémoire. Les éléments en silhouettes sont aussi typiques de la région.
Amicalement

Hi Danos,
The distance between the houses and the montains is giving depth to the composition. The point of view is showing the details of the clouds. The sunset is giving nice colors to the sky. Have a nice day.

Hello Danos,
You had the perfect cloud cover to create such a wonderful sunset sky!
I can't help thinking that the sky looks like a thick. woollen rug, covering the heavens, with the most rich orange and red colours.
There is just enough light over the town to give subtle details of the silhouetted details without detracting from that sky.
My warm regards,
Bev :-)

Hello Danos,
What an amazing sunset, it looks like the sky exploded here. The dark blue and fierce red and orange parts are fantastic. You also included the silhouettes of the town really well. Great work.

Hello Danos,
This was the kind of sunset I was hoping for when I went to Oia but it was not to be. Fantastic explosion of orange colored clouds in this tremendous sunset shot. Tfs!

Hello, Danos!
The sky looks fantastic here with these colors and clouds, it looks like an apocalypsis scene! And the silhouettes are also great! Wonderful composition! Very good job!

Hello Danos,
Usually pictures of Santorini show a plain blue sky. This photo is very different. The cloud masses in different colours are absolutely impressive.
Nice combination of orange and purple tones in the sky.
The silhouettes of the church tower and the dome on the foreground make the place recognizable to us.
Best regards, Paul

when I was there the sunset wasn't so impressive. this one is very beautiful and the texture of the sky is special. I liked the inclusion of the bell tower of the chapel in the image. TFS.
