Harringay, Haringey - So Good they Spelt it Twice!

Supermoon pics?

Somewhat surprised to see no pictures on HOL of the magnificent Supermoon this week. So bright and the craters and mountains were clear even with the naked eye.

Was it my imagination or was it easier to see detail than usual? Could the air be cleaner now traffic has dropped off and air traffic is low?

This is the moon that in medieval times was known as the Seed Moon or New Shoots Moon.

"The nights are shortening, lightening and losing their sharp chill, and the seeds that fell to the earth last autumn are finding warming earth and moisture and are starting to germinate" - Lia Leendertz, 'The Almanac'.

The name picked up by the media 'Pink Moon' comes from Native American culture and refers not to the colour of the moon, but comes from the fact that April’s full Moon often corresponded with the early springtime blooms of a certain wildflower native to eastern North America: Phlox subulata, commonly called creeping phlox or moss phlox—which also went by the name “moss pink.”

Anyway here's my rubbish iphone pic of moonrise over Harringay. Bet you did better!
