Acropolis and the full moon. Η ακρόπολη και η πανσέληνος.

A full moon last night. And I decided for a walk around Acropolis downtown Athens. The night was cool and pleasant and nice to walk around. Only I was late going there. And the moon was high up the sky. Also Acropolis was closed due to works going on there for ever. And we could not go in. And photograph the moon over the ancient ruins. But I managed to get a few photographs of them from the outside.
Με την χθεσινή πανσέληνο ήταν ευκαιρία για μια βόλτα γύρω από την Ακρόπολη. Μόνο που άργησα λιγάκι και την ώρα που έφτασα το φεγγάρι ήταν ψηλά. Και η Ακρόπολη κλειστή και δεν μπόρεσα να τραβήξω φωτογραφίες και των δυό μαζί. Το μόνο που κατάφερα να τραβήξω μερικές φωτογραφίες απ' έξω.

Stunning. Definitely on my "must see" list.

You did a fine job Costas. I have nothing to show. Of course the Acropolis is always stunning lit up for the night, and you are a master at capturing it. I am sure it was a magical night for you just being there, with the full moon over your head, in that special place.

Ανέβηκα αρκετές φορές στην Ακρόπολη με πανσέληνο, αν και το πλήθος που ανεβαίνει σε ξενερώνει εντελώς αλλά όταν βρίσκεσαι πλέον εκεί που πρέπει είναι μαγεία.....
