   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.
