Harvest Moon over Sicily Image Credit & [3]Copyright: [4]Dario Giannobile Explanation: For northern hemisphere dwellers, [5]September's Full Moon was the Harvest Moon. Reflecting warm hues at sunset it rises over the historic town of Castiglione di Sicilia in [6]this telephoto view from September 9. Famed in festival, story, and song [7]Harvest Moon is just the traditional name of the full moon nearest the autumnal equinox. According to lore the name is a fitting one. Despite the diminishing daylight hours as the growing season drew to a close, farmers could harvest crops by the light of a full moon [8]shining on from dusk to dawn.
