Full Moon on the Aegean Sea, 7:52 p.m.
We spent hours on our starboard side balcony upon departure from the port of Pireaus (Athens) because we were scheduled to pass the Temple of Poseidon around 7:30 p.m. Though the temple was too far away and the lighting too dim by then for any really good pictures, we stayed on our balcony finishing our bottle of wine and admiring the sunset, followed soon by the moonrise. It was a fantastic full moon, bright pinkish orange against the hazy blue sky and water. I don't think I've ever seen a moon that appeared to be so large on the horizon! It was mesmerizing to watch.
Since you can't shoot from a tripod on a moving cruise ship, I had to crank up the ISO to 2500 and shot this at 1/40th, thus the noise, but I think it's a compelling sight nonetheless.
