Crescent Moon and Castle
Copyright: György Soponyai

On 2nd May evening I observed and photographed as the setting Moon reaching the roof of the Hungarian royal palace, the Buda Castle (UNESCO World Heritage Site). I wanted to take a photo in the moment when the Moon was touching the top of the Castle however our Sister Planet sank behind clouds shortly after this photo had been taken.
