Eos (Greek Ηώς, or Έως "dawn") is, in Greek mythology, the Titanic goddess of the dawn, who rose from her home at the edge of Oceanus, the Ocean that surrounds the world, to herald her brother brother Helios , the sun. Eos is the daughter of Hyperion and Theia (or Pallas and Styx) and sister of Helios the sun and Selene the moon, "who shine upon all that are on earth and upon the deathless Gods who live in the wide heaven" Hesiod told in Theogony (371-374).
As the dawn goddess, Eos with "rosy fingers" opened the gates of heaven[2] so that Apollo could ride his chariot across the sky every day. In Homer (Iliad viii.1; xxiv.695), her saffron-colored robe is embroidered or woven with flowers (Odyssey vi:48 etc) and she’s rosy-fingered with golden arms.
Eos is free with her favors and had many consorts, both among the generation of Titans and among the handsomest mortals. With Astraios, she bore all the winds and stars. Her passion for the Titan Orion was unrequited. Eos kidnapped Cephalus, Clitus, Ganymede, and Tithonus to be her lovers. Eos' most faithful consort was Tithonus, from whose couch the poets imagine her arising. When Zeus stole Ganymede from her to be his cup-bearer, she asked for Tithonus to be made immortal, but forgot to ask for eternal youth. Tithonus indeed lived forever but grew more and more ancient, eventually turning into a cricket.
In the more restrictive Hellenic world, Apollodorus, a later Greek poet, claimed, in an anecdote rather than a myth, that her disgraceful abandon was a torment from Aphrodite, who found her on the couch with Ares.

I wish you all a very Happy 2009 full of health, happiness and nice photos

A beautiful golden dawn! I love the line of the land leaning into the sea, the curve of the beach, and especially the swoop of the clouds in the sky. The horizon line is a tad tilted, but not hard to fix. The contrasts are excellent for the mood of this scene and also work well to diminish the presence of the vehicles. Well done!

Hi Argiris,
it is an adorable dawn with wonderful colours, lovely silhouettes and great pov here,
welldone my dear friend and tfs,
wish you a happy new year with your loved ones,
warm regards,

The Romans said: "A god is here" when they found a place with a special atmosphere. Surely a god is here in this divine dawn, either Eos herself or maybe Apollon the god of beauty and art...
Best wishes for Next Year, and... be careful with ouzo!
Ciao,
Donato

hello Argiris

All the best to you for 2009 and thank you for all your kind encouragement and critiques throughout 2008. I appreciate it.

I find this sunset view very appropriate for this purpose and it is really a well composed exposed capture of the evening color tone that changes from the horizon upwards to the blue.

tfs, bill

A beautiful sunset shot, Argyris. The colours provide a very warm mood and the people on the beach are a nice bonus...
The horizon seems a bit tilted though ;o)
For 2009 I wish you a good health, and lots of photo opportunities!
