A harvest moon is the full moon closest to the autumnal equinox, when night and day are equal in length. And, apparently, for the first time since 1991, these two events coincided in the small hours of Thursday, in the northern hemisphere. I didn't know that, but it certainly looked impressive tonight!

nice use of the long lens to really bring in the moon. I like how you managed to keep just a bit of color in the hills. I went out but there was still to much daylight left, and the winds were a breezy 20-30 mph, gusting over 40 mph, so I didn't get any usable images.
