The full moon of January is also called the wolf moon because wolves were more often heard howling at this time. It was traditionally believed that wolves howled due to hunger during winter. Here you can also see the belt of Venus also called Venus's Girdle, the antitwilight arch, or antitwilight. It is an atmospheric phenomenon visible shortly before sunrise or after sunset, during civil twilight. It is that pinkish glow which along with the clouds and full moon created a wonderful view.

Hey! I am Ntounas Alexios, born in Thessaloniki, Greece. I am a software engineer and in the past few years I became passionate about photography. I always enjoyed travelling and exploring new places. With my photos I can share those experiences with the rest of the world. Photography is a good reason to wake up early to capture a sunrise, to stay out late to photograph the milky way or to wait for the perfect light. In the end its all about being out in nature capturing the perfect moment. Landscapes, seascapes, cityscapes and astrophotography are my favorite genres of photography. My photographs have been published in Greek magazines and I have participated in various photography exhibitions.
