Harvest Moon rears its head
A full red moon sitting on the horizon above the M5 captured the attention of many drivers.
Called the harvest moon, it got its name because it provides the most light when famers would typically start gathering their crops in order to prepare for winter.
This one was photographed by Peter Lopeman from the Clent Hills looking east over west Birmingham and the Black Country.
It was particularly special because t is a rare occasion for a harvest moon to appear in October. It usually it appears in late September.
It is the first full moon that takes place closest to the Autumn equinox.
