EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Setting Moon in a red sky" transports us to the enchanting island of Milos, nestled north of Crete in the Mediterranean Sea. Taken from the vantage point of Santorini, this breathtaking view showcases a gibbous moon gracefully descending amidst a vibrant red sky. Gibbous moons occur during phases of the lunar cycle when more than half of its visible side is illuminated by the radiant Sun. The striking contrast between the crimson hues and the deep blue ocean creates an ethereal atmosphere that captivates our senses. As we gaze upon this celestial spectacle, we are reminded that a red sky at night often heralds fair weather for the following day. This meteorological phenomenon adds another layer of intrigue to an already awe-inspiring scene. The rugged mountains and scattered craters on Milos serve as a dramatic backdrop to this heavenly display, accentuating its beauty even further. The tranquil waters of the Mediterranean Sea reflect both moonlight and fiery colors, creating an otherworldly reflection. Detlev van Ravenswaay's skillful capture invites us into this magical moment where astronomy meets artistry. It reminds us of nature's ability to inspire wonder and instill serenity within our souls. Let yourself be transported to Greece's shores through this remarkable image - where dreams merge with reality under a mesmerizing red sky at dusk.
