Koram Hill, Strabane, Co Tyrone, Northern Ireland
Last night I set out on an attempt to capture the first ‘Hunter’s Moon of 2019’ at the ‘UTV Television Broadcasting Tower’ overlooking the town of Strabane. This 100% full hunter’s moon happens rarely only a few nights per year. It took me a while to capture correctly, showing a Silhouette of this local iconic broadcasting tower with its red lights in the foreground whilst trying to retain some of the moon’s details in the background, in one single capture. Imagine if this was an actual ladder to the moon… would you climb it? As I certainly would ????
Native American tribe folklore named it ‘Hunter’s Moon’ because it coincided with the time to go hunting in preparation for winter. After the harvest, animals would come to the fields for scraps. With this full moon it was easier to see deer and other animals and successfully hunt in the darkness. This ‘Hunter Moon’ only happens during October or November each year depending on other variables ?
