Details:
It is always impressive to observe the moon when it appears or approaches the horizon to hide, but to do so when it is placed over a place like this, is unforgettable.
In this case, the moon was descending towards its hiding place after being present all night and it was situated over the mystical village of Olvera from my position.
Olvera is called one of the most beautiful villages in Spain, it belongs to the World Heritage Site and the so-called white villages of Andalusia, for having all its houses painted in lime.
The reason for whitewashing their houses dates back to the time of the Roman Empire to protect them from epidemics.
To get this photograph I had to move 5.7 kilometers away from the village to get this visual effect of the moon with the village. It was a difficult job to find the exact place to align the moon with the village, the terrain is very hilly and getting a clean place took me months of searching, but I finally found it.
