It took me an hour of scouting in the afternoon to find an appropriate place for the moonrise above the Platamonas castle.
Turned out that this viewpoint was on private ground and i could barely convince a non-english-speaking guy to let me photograph there when i came back in the early evening. Just minutes before the moonrise the man came back in company of a dozen goats, declaring i have to leave now because his goats are afraid of me - at least that’s what i understood.
I refused to give up this shot, so the man got understandably quite angry. Nonetheless the story turned out good: After half an hour the goats did overcome their fear of german photographers and when the goatherd approached me i pointed him to the wonderful scenery at the castle. He was really exited about this beauty and even sat down next to me so that we were able to enjoy the moonrise together.
More detailed information about this and all the other photos i took on my photo trip in Greece are available on my website:

By the way: Sorry for my absence on Viewbug during the last couple of weeks, I was busy with learning the art of printing and compiling a guide to a “secret“ castle Neuschwanstein viewpoint:
