Harvest Moon over Sicily
Explanation: For northern hemisphere dwellers,
September's Full Moon was the Harvest Moon. Reflecting warm hues at sunset it rises over the historic town of Castiglione di Sicilia in
this telephoto view from September 9. Famed in festival, story, and song
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
shining on from dusk to dawn.

Well, here in the PNW, our full moon wasn't so big but it was a deep orange due to wildfires in the area.

It was the same size everywhere.
