The new Supermoon is called Hunters moon.

And the strange thing is that this moon will stay full for 3 days.

Normally the full moons only last for one day, but not this Hunters moon.

As you can see in the photo above, I climbed onto the roof just too late to get the moon rising behind a mountain peak. But the problem is that I have now started to shake, and I have to go about very slowly. Not that it bothers me, as I can still get what I want in nature, such as this 3 day moon.

So what's the story about this special Supermoon?

The upcoming full moon, the Hunter’s Moon, will appear this coming Thursday, 17 October 2024, at 13:26. Markedly, it will remain full for about three days. Since the Hunter’s Moon will be visible globally and South Africa’s location in the Southern Hemisphere does not obstruct its view, it should be clearly visible from the country.

It is important to note that the upcoming full moon has multiple names. The Hunter’s Moon is a centuries-old name for the full moon that immediately follows the autumnal equinox and the September Harvest Moon that accompanies it, which signals an acceleration in the hunting season, according to CBS News.

There is a series of videos in the source link that explains all about this special moon.

I liked the way that the colored cloud came drifting over the face of the moon.

Although this is beautiful, and the last Supermoon of the year, this full moon is also dangerous. There is a warning out for rough seas as the moon set off a Spring tide, and the waves are much higher and rougher than usual. So, imagine this, beauty and danger combined.

And then it was darkening fast and time for me to get off the roof but look how warm the mountains still look after the sun's rays completed the day with a beautiful sunset.

I also took a few sunset photos towards the West.

And this little guy sang the evening song, warming his belly in the last of the sun's rays.

So, there you have it, and this is my take on the issue of this beautiful hunter's moon. The sad thing is that this was yesterday, and today the sky is solid cloud. So, on day two I cannot see the moon, and I can only hope to get it again on day 3. Maybe Mother nature will relent and open the skies for me tomorrow. This is always a worry every full moon, while waiting for the moon to rise above the Hottentots mountains near us. Many times, the clouds keep it hidden as it shows itself above the mountain peaks. But, like the little sunbird male singing praises to his Creator, so too do we sing with hope in our hearts. And we remain thankful for each new day and the breath in our bodies.
A beautiful week to you all.

I hope you enjoyed the pictures and the story.

Your photos are pure magic! What wonderful captures of the Hunter's moon. I am very jealous 😀 because I will not have a chance to take photos of it. Usually, during our October vacation I get a shot at a full moon over the ocean but this year - bad timing. Full moons just before we leave. Oh well, all the more I am enjoying your photos of the moon over the mountains. It really is amazing how much warms they radiate against the cool sky. I do love the color scheme of the muted pink clouds and the very pale yellow of the moon. Really, really nice photos. Thank you for sharing them.

Thank you kindly for the compliment. No need to be jealous, as I also often have cloudy cover on the full moons, and I know how it feels. I appreciate your description of the post, and I am glad that you saw the beauty. Our Creator is a master artist, and it's my pleasure to share photos.

Looked at the moon on 16th and commented it's the last Supermoon of 2024 to my son, since then cloud has shrouded the skies. Actual time for us was October 17. 1:26 pm (13:26) always visit Wits Planetarium, where we frequented when young.

Yep, the last Supermoon of the year, and it was a real beauty. I can kick myself for never visiting the Wits Planetarium, but I will make up for it by visiting the Planetarium at Sutherland.

I got some photos of this moon. It was so big and bright. I was wondering why it was out for 3 days until I saw this blog post.

Very alarming situation on Hive: Misuse of power, fake interactions, and abuse of downvoting we've spoken up about the abuse of power on Hive, only to be downvoted and spoken to poorly.

Themarkymark and others are misusing their power, with Blocktrades delegating Hive power to Buildawhale and Usainvote.

The marky mark need drugs

On Hive a significant issue exists with automatic upvotes consistently rewarding the same individuals day in and day out

We want to address the issue of downvoting. It has caused pain to many people, and we want to make sure it doesn't happen again reply to @jacobtothe

We hope that those who genuinely care about Hive will reconsider their actions, as continuing down this path could inadvertently harm innocent users who are unaware of these issues

lol the Marky mark keeps dreaming

There's been a notable increase in frustration and concern among many users

Reply 2 @crimsonclad You may consider yourself clever

Reply to @crimsonclad

Consider revising the value plan, as it's not providing significant benefits to HIVE

The Value Plan, as it stands, seems to be a one-sided relationship with the HIVE platform, where the benefits are one-way

Actions indeed speak louder than words, a fact we've all observed individuals may talk a good game, a whole lot of shit, but their actions often expose their genuine nature LOL

We consider it unwise to engage in harmful actions, even if you think you can escape the repercussions

The Hive Police aka Hivewatchers, are the real heroes of Hive LOL, aren't they?

Feast your eyes on Hive's trending page, what a load of trash

LoL it's the Hivewatchers Hive Police, dishing out orders like a bakery LOL! Folks, do what you want with your Hive power, just as you please. And you, Hivewatchers, downvote away, but remember, judgment day's coming

Harry fam We're just here, laughing at the shenanigans on Hive! Sure, our content's getting downvoted, but hey, it's all part of the game LOL

Thank you my dear friend, and I agree that it was worth it to climb on the roof, and the awards were leg cramps for two days !LOLZ

I have chronically low iron levels Lady Lizzy, that resulted in anemia. So I hide when the bone lorry comes past. !LOLZ
Seriously though, an anti-cramp pill forms a part of the heap of pills that I take every day. But any exertions negate the pills, due to the low iron levels. I have a very strict and good doctor and he almost fainted when Marian told him that I climb on the roof with a ladder. So now I am banned from climbing on a ladder, but I will find another way to climb on the roof.

!PIZZA and all our !LUV
