“In the days before electric lights, farmers depended on bright moonlight to extend the workday beyond sunset. It was the only way they could gather their ripening crops in time for market. The full moon closest to the autumnal equinox became the Harvest Moon, and it was always a welcome sight.” ~Dr. Tony Phillips
Great shots, it was brilliant tonight.
Thanks! The halo around it was amazing.
Lovely photos, it is cloudy and rainy here, so I missed the moon this year, Annie
It was even more beautiful tonight than last night. Big and reddish in color when it first appeared over the horizon.
Hi. The moon is like a big flashlight on our back deck. Jane
