Thursday night’s full moon, dubbed the ‘Strawberry Moon’, has been captured rising above the ancient Temple of Poseidon at Sounio, south of Athens.
It is called the Strawberry Moon because this is when strawberries are at their most plentiful.
The Temple of Poseidon stands on a craggy spur that plunges 65 meters to the sea.
Built in 444 BC – same year as the Parthenon – of marble from nearby Agrilesa, it is a vision of gleaming white columns.
Sailors in ancient times knew they were nearly home when they saw the first glimpse of white, and views from the temple are equally impressive.
