OCTOBER’S HARVEST MOON RISING OVER NILES POND

Returning from photographing at the Lighthouse I turned the bend and there was tonight’s spectacular full Harvest Moon rising over Niles Pond. I wished there had been time to set up my tripod!

    “Traditions of Harvest Moon Festival: The Harvest Moon Festival is the busiest travel day in Korea with over half the Korean population traveling.

    Most people visit family to prepare food, honor their ancestors, and cherish relatives both living and deceased.

    One of the main Harvest Moon Festival traditions is the food preparation, especially of songpyun; a traditional Korean rice cake made with pine needles. In Korean, Song means ‘pine tree’ and Pyun means ‘rice cake’. A custom is that if someone makes the songpyun in nice shapes, they will have a beautiful daughter.

    During The Harvest Moon Festival there is an offering ceremony to the family ancestors and visiting of family graves and family members use the songpyun as an offering to their ancestors. The Harvest Moon Festival is a reminder that families are connected and bonded in the same fortune.”
