Brocken Spectre seen from the Castle of Loulouda in Greece, by Manolis Thravalos.

I was hiking on a mountain in Samos Island in Greece to prepare a travelogue for a local site I work for as a photographer. On the top of the steep hill you can see the ruins of a medieval castle, named the Castle of Loulouda, after the daughter of a local priest, who fainted and fell off the cliffs some hundreds of years ago.
While I was on the top, a blanket of fog rolled over the mountain and then I saw my first-ever glory and Brocken Spectre (or Loulouda’s Spectre if you want :)
This fog in correlation with the myths around this place was quite chilling!
In fact, the shadow on the mist is Manolis’ own shadow. Read more: What is the Brocken Spectre?
Thank you, Manolis Thravalos!
