Just days before the 2025 blood full moon, I witnessed a rare sight in the Toggenburg region of Switzerland: the moon appearing to rest upon the majestic Churfirsten mountains. This natural spectacle lasted only a few fleeting minutes, and I was incredibly fortunate to capture it. Nature’s wonders often reveal themselves suddenly and unexpectedly — this is why I love photography, which allows me to transform such moments into art.
