The Greek flag waves under the starry sky of Mykonos with the moon rising over the Aegean Sea
This evocative night photograph captures the essence of island Greece: a Hellenic flag waves in the wind while the full moon rises over the Aegean Sea, illuminating the waters with a silvery reflection. The shot is taken from an elevated point on the island, probably near the Armenistis lighthouse, and shows the barren, rocky landscape typical of Mykonos in the foreground. In the distance, the lights of Chora dot the coastline, while the Milky Way is visible in the starry sky above the flag. The contrast between the deep blue of night and the warm tones of artificial lights creates a magical atmosphere. This image represents nocturnal Greece, when the island transforms and reveals a charm different from daytime, more intimate and contemplative.
