I took this photo as the sun was setting and when I was still oblivious to the pending harvest moon.

Barely visible at first since it was still daylight, the giant harvest moon pops up from behind the trees.

The sun is setting behind me and makes the moon glow brighter.

I went to the hawk watch platform at Cape May Point hoping to see a few raptors and a nice sunset. There was a guy sitting there, apparently doing nothing. He told me he was waiting for the harvest moon which would be arriving in a few minutes.
