August Full Moon at Cephalonia

Full moon over cape Mounda, South Cephalonia 2014

This year the large August Full Moon caught me at the southest point of Cephalonia Island. Overlooking the cape of Mounda just under the moon rays.

The lights glittering between the clouds in the horizon are coming from the Island of Zakynthos just a few miles souther.

The absence of too much light pollution from the shore gave another perspective to the scenery.
