I'm so jealous of this shot. I've tried on several occasions (not at the Harvest Moon though) and all I get are squiggles :(. Great description and FANTASTIC shot.
9-12-11...7:42p...September's full moon, the Harvest Moon. I had a hard time getting a decent shot because there is still a haze of smoke from the fire that is burning here so I had to wait until the moon rose above the layer of smoke. [P9120340]
Traditionally, this designation goes to the full moon that occurs closest to the autumnal (fall) equinox. The Harvest Moon usually comes in September in the Northern Hemisphere, but (on average) once or twice a decade it will fall in early October.At the peak of harvest, farmers can work late into the night by the light of this Moon. Usually the full Moon rises an average of 50 minutes later each night, but for the few nights around the Harvest Moon, the Moon seems to rise at nearly the same time each night: just 25 to 30 minutes later across the U.S., and only 10 to 20 minutes later for much of Canada and Europe. Corn, pumpkins, squash, beans, and wild rice the chief Indian staples are now ready for gathering.
