Description:
he Moon rises behind the castle, tinged with an intense red hue—a result of a rare phenomenon known as the Major Lunar Standstill. It marks the southernmost full moon in the past 19 years, something that won’t occur again until 2043. This extreme position, so close to the horizon, forced the moonlight to travel through a greater thickness of the atmosphere, which intensified the warm tones and created a surprising illusion of scale. No filters, no exaggeration: the color you see is real. And fortunately for me, it appears perfectly framed in a composition rich in mystery and symbolism.
