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.

Mom used to sing this:
Oh, shine on, shine on harvest moon up in the sky
I ain’t had no lovin’ since April, January, June or July
Snow time ain’t no time to stay outdoors and spoon
So shine on, shine on harvest moon for me ‘n’ my gal

When you’re swimming in the sea
And an eel bites your knee
That’s a Moray!

Magnificent. That scene would look great either as a painting, or made into a jigsaw puzzle.

What do they call this full moon in the southern hemisphere?
To: Steely Tom
Apollonia. More Greek than Italian.

Well, her name is Simonetta Stefanelli, and she was born in Rome in 1954.
Seems pretty Italian to me, though not necessarily Sicilian.
Apollo is a Greek god, that’s true.

When you reach in the sand,
and an eel bites your hand,
that’s a moray.
