Explanation: That big, bright, beautiful Full Moon you watched rise on the night of October 6 was the Harvest Moon. Famed in festival, story, and song, Harvest Moon is just the traditional name of the full moon nearest the time of the northern hemisphere's autumnal equinox. According to lore the name is a fitting one. Despite the diminishing daylight hours, as the growing season drew to a close in the north, farmers could harvest crops by the light of a full moon shining on from dusk to dawn. Later this year than usual, in 2025 October's Harvest Moon was also known to some as a supermoon, a term becoming a traditional name for a full moon near the time of lunar perigee. And this telephoto snapshot of the (almost) full moon rising above a conspicuous skyscraper in New York city, taken on October 5, is suggestive of yet another full moon moniker.

People pay to live there???
If you pull one out, will it fall down?
Worth a try...
Good question.
Apparently so.
Wow.
I wouldn’t want to be the window cleaner.
Lots of roosting and nesting places for pigeons. I bet the windows are covered in long white streaks.
What an ugly building.
There, fixed it.
Jenga for rich people.

As I've posted a few times this past year -- the AI summary anyway -- regarding 40 years' time:
The record for the tallest Jenga tower built under the standard game rules is 40 complete levels plus two blocks into the 41st, achieved by Robert Grebler in 1985.
Not visible in the Moon photo is the "Mini Bean" mirror at the base of the Jenga Tower...
... but at least the Moon photo shows the two men who share a common left eye/ayin (Sea of tranquility), hovering over the precarious-looking tower: the large man with his shocked face (עשו), and the smaller tipped man (יעקב) with his wry smile, the two sharing a common ע.
(The light of the Moon is a reflection of the Sun's light.)

ALT 15 ☼, which is a verry interesting Sun, being also the map symbol for a factory in the language of the place named for being the origin of the Sun.
