A full moon, also a harvest moon, rises past thunder clouds near Encinitas, California
A full moon, also a harvest moon, rises past thunder clouds near Encinitas, California September 8, 2014. The harvest moon comes at a time in the lunar cycle when moonrise does not occur significantly later night after night - a change welcome in an agrarian era when farmers worked late into the night trying to harvest their crops before frost set in.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the mesmerizing sight of a full moon, known as the harvest moon, rising above thunder clouds near Encinitas, California. Taken on September 8,2014, by photographer Mike Blake for Reuters Images, this image showcases nature's breathtaking beauty and power. The harvest moon holds special significance in the lunar cycle as it rises at a time when each night does not bring significantly later moonrise. This change was particularly welcomed during an agrarian era when farmers toiled late into the night to gather their crops before frost settled in. The presence of this celestial phenomenon provided them with extended hours of light to complete their vital work. In this photograph, we witness the ethereal glow of the full moon casting its radiant light through dark storm clouds. The contrasting elements create a dramatic scene that evokes both awe and tranquility simultaneously. As if emerging from behind nature's own theater curtains, the luminous orb stands out against the backdrop of turbulent skies. Mike Blake skillfully captured this moment in time where environmental forces converge with human endeavors. This image serves as a reminder of our deep connection to nature and how it influences our daily lives – even in modern times.
