The ancient Temple of Poseidon at Cape Sounion in Greece offered a stunning celestial spectacle on Wednesday evening (11 June), for a brilliant full moon—known as the “Strawberry Moon” as it rose above the historic columns.
This full moon, traditionally named for the June strawberry harvest, coincided with a clear sky, providing an unforgettable scene for both locals and tourists who gathered to witness the moment.
Built in the 5th century BC in honor of the sea god Poseidon, the temple stands on top a cliff overlooking the Aegean Sea and has long been a favorite spot for moon watchers. On this particular night, the moonlit view created a poetic link between ancient history and the timeless beauty of the natural world.
The “Strawberry Moon” is not named for its color, but rather for the season, and its rise over such a symbolic location added a unique charm to this annual astronomical event.
