The image above is the culmination of fifteen months of repeated efforts to catch the rising full moon against the Temple of Poseidon in southern Greece and which was finally realized with the May/2005 full moon. The primary task was to identify the optimal time after sunset which would yield a perfect (!) light balance between the (bright) moon and the natural lighting of the Temple of Poseidon. This was determined to be approximately 22 minutes after sunset. The months that ensued were then used to reverse engineer the perspective of the temple with respect to its physical azimuth and altitude. The final exercise involved the identification of the proper full moon during the calendar year which would simultaneously meet the above criteria with respect to lighting balance (full moon and archaelogical grounds) as well as azimuth and altitude.
