The Full Wolf Moon Over Mt. Olympus #1

            The January Full Moon is named Wolf Moon due to the howling of the wolves that can be heard in this time of year more often than at any other season. This is the very first full moon gracing the sky in 2021. On this shot the Moon is rising above the snow-capped Mount Olympus (2,918 m or 9,570 ft, Greece), as viewed from South West, from afar (from a distance of 43 miles or 69 km away), from the outskirts of Kalampaka. It was a very, very cold evening indeed high up on the windy mountains!

The highest mountain in Greece was thought as the 12 gods' everlasting residence, according to Homer. The sacred mountain has long inspired a legion of poets.
