Photographer's Note
Dedicate it to the bigget and the most beautiful Full moon of the year.Taday the distance of the Moon from the Earth is the most closest,so the appeatence of the Full moon,is the more splendid from the other ones of the year.
Cape Sounion (Modern Greek: Aκρωτήριο Σούνιο - Akrotírio Soúnio; Latin: Sunium promonturium; Venetian: Capo Colonne) is a promontory located 69 km (43 mi, by road) SSE of Athens, at the southernmost tip of the Attica peninsula in Greece.
Cape Sounion is noted as the site of ruins of the ancient Greek temple of Poseidon, the god of the sea in classical mythology. The remains are perched on the headland, surrounded on three sides by the sea.The ruins bear the deeply engraved name of English Romantic poet Lord Byron (1788 - 1824).
The site is a popular day excursion for tourists from Athens, with sunset over the Aegean Sea viewed from the ruins a sought-after spectacle.
More details for Cape Sounio you can see here
Αφιερωμένη στη μεγαλύτερη και πιό όμορφη Πανσέληνο του έτους.Σήμερα η απόσταση του φεγγαριού από την γη είναι η πιό κοντινή,έτσι η εμφάνιση της Πανσελήνου είναι η πιό ωραία από τις άλλες κατά την διάρκεια του έτους.

Geia sou Dano,
You found the perfect backdrop for this beautiful archaeological structure - the warm light is beautiful. The addition of the two people adds liveliness and a touch of romance. And of course the rendition in silhouettes makes it very graphical - and as you know, I always love that.
Have a fine weekend!

The silhouette of the ancient temple proviveds drama to to the sunset sky. The couple adds a romantic touch.
I was looking at the moon just before was full. and thinking I should get out last night, but we were travelling under the coastal overcast.

Geia sou Danos,
Impossible to see this moon yesterday in Paris, it was raining. I was very disappointed, I would have of to come two days earlier in Greece! I hope that you made photos.
Very beautiful and romantic sunset. How much sunset, did the temple of Sounion contemplate since it is there? It makes me dream.
I hope that you received my message by e-mail which I sent yesterday (I had a lot of difficulty to connect me whith TE,) to know if we can take a coffee tomorrow morning at the airport. If you did not receive it, contact I by TE and give me your e-mail address, I shall send it one more time directly.
See you tomorrow perhaps!

Γεια σου φίλε Δάνο!
Η φωτογραφία σου είναι καλλιτεχνική με τις σιλουέτες των κιόνων μα και των ανθρώπων να κυριαρχούν. Η έντονη αντίθεση του φωτός με το σκοτάδι διαμορφώνουν ένα πολύ ωραίο σκηνικό. Η φωτομέτρηση κυρίως στο φωτεινό μέρος έπαιξε σημαντικό ρόλο.
Χαιρετισμούς,
Αθανάσιος.

Hello Danos:
The silhouette has been very well defined, compared with a beautiful backdrop as the background, as it gives the sky, with its key litmus.
The couple, apart from that gives dynamism to the scene, in a way that reinforces the romantic composition, in a perfect frame.
I love this shot, no doubt.

Hello Danos,
you have not overcomplicated the theme. But for awakening the memory of those who are lucky enough to have seen Sunio personally (like me) the silhouettes are just enough - not to mention the special, romantic atmosphere connected to this famous place (and recalled by the couple also on this picture).
Best whishes
