"On August 5th, 2009, I enjoyed a spectacular full moon. From the Andalusian village of Huetor Santillan near Granada (Spain), I had a full view over the Sierra Nevada mountains. With the sun just down, still painting the mountains with an orange-red hypnotism, the full moon appeared from behind the mountains and I could enjoy a moment of bare beauty. I wrote Luna y Sierra to celebrate that moment, where the Sierra Nevada became the stage for a dazzling performance by the full moon." - Wil Offermans
