Harvest Moon

Last night I stayed up late working on that GI Joe model, then stayed up even later taking pictures! The first day of Fall was yesterday and the official equinox happened just after 11pm. NASA said that 6 hours after the equinox was when this year's harvest moon was to happen (the closest correlation between a harvest moon and the fall equinox in decades) meaning it was going to be a brilliantly lit night with the "Harvest-est Moon" and lit coming both from the full moon on one horizon and light from the nearly-rising sun on the opposite horizon.

I went out and took photos of it, some at the actual equinox and then one at the harvest moon's peak, but unfortunately it was a really cloudy morning. Honestly, though, the photos came out brilliantly nonetheless! XD
