Wolf Moon Over Abruzzo, Italy
Wolf moon sets behind a crane and San Bernardino church in L'Aquila, Italy, on January 25th, 2024. Wolf Moon is the initial full moon of the new year and derives its name from native Americans and the fact that January was the month when the howling of wolves became more intense. Additionally, due to the cold temperatures, this was also the time when these animals tended to approach villages more closely, resulting in their howls being heard more frequently. Basilica of San Bernardino is among most popular monuments and churches in L'Aquila (Abruzzo, central Italy). (Photo by Lorenzo Di Cola/NurPhoto)
