Oropos
Oropos (Greek: Ωρωπός), or (referring to the ancient town) Oropus, is a small town and a municipality in East Attica, Greece.
It was an important ancient Greek city and the famous nearby sanctuary of Amphiaraos was a large settlement which is visible today.
History
The sanctuary for the oracle of Amphiaraus at Oropos is east of Delphi, northeast of Athens
Oropos was founded by colonists from Eretria; it was either located in or identical with Graea.[4] In ancient times, it was a border city between Boeotia and Attica, and its possession was a continual cause of dispute between the two states; but ultimately it came into possession of Athens, and was always an Attic town, even during the Roman Empire. The actual harbour, which was called Delphinium, was at the mouth of the Asopus, about a mile (1.6 km) north of the city.
The famous Sanctuary of Amphiaraos was situated in the territory of Oropus, 12 stadia from the city. The site has been excavated by the Greek Archaeological Society; it contained a temple, a sacred spring, into which coins were thrown by worshippers, altars and porticoes, and a small theatre, of which the proskenion is well preserved. Worshippers used to consult the oracle of Amphiaraos by sleeping on the skin of a slaughtered ram within the sacred building.

Hello Danos, Nice view of the beach in the end of season. The tables and chairs are waiting for last customers, but the umbrellas are close. Attractive composition in beautiful colours.

Dobar dan.
Interesantan i lep pogled, dobar tekst ...
Dobar rad, lepo pokazano mesto, dobar kontrast i perspektiva, lepe boje, lepo uhvacen trenutak sa oblacima koji dolaze i donose kisu. Lepo mesto za odmor sa lepim pogledom na zaliv i brodove.
Imajte lep i uspesan dan, sve najbolje.

Almost ready for the storm, Danos, still at the end of October there maybe tourists on the beach on nice days.
The folded parasoles in three different colors amade this scene so attractive, stabding as sentries around the tables.
Fine choice of POV, good sense of DOF and as usual - very clear photo.
Kalimera and best regards,
Ike

Bonjour, cher Danos,
La saison semble se terminer, les parasols sont repliés, le soleil n'est pas au rendez-vous, mais qu'importe, l'environnement est toujours aussi beau.
Amitiés.

Hello Danos
Beautiful picture marking the end of the tourist season. Maybe the proprietor hopes for some days with nice weather and some visitors before he will bring it to the winter storage. But looking at the sky there is no change for that.
Well done
Have a nice day

Hello Danos,
The folded umbrellas and the blue chairs bring colour to this grey and cloudy day. I like the perspective down the row of vertical elements. Well captured and composed.

Hello Danos,
The owner of the restaurant still seems to hope for warmer and sunnier days, since the tables are still there. The folded umbrellas are nice eye-catchers and accentuate a colourful diagonal which also includes the tables and chairs and the small bushes.. Being folded the umbrellas also allow a nice view across the water. This photo shows that even dull weather can create fine photo opportunities.
Kind regards,
Gert

Bonjour Danos,
On sent que c'est un peu plus frais au mois d'octobre. Les parasols eux-mêmes semblent frissonner un petit peu devant ce ciel gris.
Amicalement

Hi Danos,the end of touristic season in a lovely pic. I wish to be there a time in winter months,i think that is a great moment of peace and quiet and the places are still lovely to live. Great perspective full of colors and very sharp! Have a nice day and thanks,Luciano

Ho Danos,
The distance between the beach and the horizon is giving depth to the composition. The point of view is showing the details of the parasols and of the tables. The cloudy sky is giving a good contrast to the colours. Have a nice day.

After the season, the umbrellas look like soldier in rows, and dark clouds predict colder and rainy days, excellent photo

Hi Danos
A wonderful shot how you have successfully brought out its liveliness under that bleak grey sky with lots of wonderful sweeps of lines and colourful patterns of the chairs, table and canopies. The perspective drags the eye deeper into the far end diagonally. It's imaginative and inventive imagery which is appealing on the eye. Lovely productive shot. Congrats
Best wishes

Hi Danos.
Sensational composition, with this nice composition on the diagonal, formed by the line of umbrellas and tables on the beach, certainly an ideal place with good weather, but the day, judging by the gray of the sky, was not to sit on the edge from sea.....
Sharpness, exposure, colors, horizontal format, point of view and composition chosen are excellent.
Very good work. I like it.
You have a good day.
Best regards.
Luis.

Καλησπέρα Δάνο,
ο Ωρωπός έχει να προσφέρει όμορφες και ατμοσφαιρικές εικόνες ακόμη και το χειμώνα. Μου αρέσει η προοπτική και η καθαρότητα της εικόνας σου, τα ήρεμα χειμωνιάτικα χρώματα, η διαφορετική όψη των στοιχείων που κάνουν την περιοχή τόσο ελκυστική το καλοκαίρι. Συγχαρητήρια και ευχαριστώ!
Να είσαι καλά, καλή σου νύχτα,
Ουρανία

Hello Danos,
I like the colorful (folded) umbrellas neatly lined among the blue chairs. Yes, the overcast sky does not look inviting for sitting outside.

Hello Danos,
The closed cafe, with its empty tables and rolled-up parasols creates a mood and that is what photography is all about, revealing the mood of the moment. The visitors have gone, the sky is grey but, like the caterpillar, it will emerge beautiful next season.
You have used the features to your advantage, the parasols creating a diminishing line for perspective and, also, to create a strong f/g triangle.
My warm regards,
Bev :-)

Happy new year to you and your family, Danos.
Given the post-summer cold weather, I see some of the staff members wearing differently-cloured wet suits and matching hats waiting patiently on shore for the coming distant boat that will take them to warmer countries! Attractive display.
