Moonshine: Nature’s spectacle, one night only
Blogged under Live Pretty by Diane Porter on Sunday 14 September 2008

It’s a shame the harvest moon only comes around once a year.

That huge, glowing, gold-orange circle that will rise slowly from the horizon tonight has inspired poems, plays, books and Neil Young, not to mention a thousand romances. There’s a Harvest Moon brewery, a Harvest Moon Café, a Harvest Moon Estate & Winery and a whole slew of Harvest Moon video games, wherein you plant crops and hope to heck you survive.

But those are mostly loud and busy things, and we’re in a quieter mood. We’ll focus on Paul Kozal’s gorgeous black and white photograph, “Harvest Moon,” at allposters.com ($10-$18). We love the peace of Joel Sartore’s “A Harvest Moon Rises over a Pier Where a Group of Fishermen Cast Their Lines” ($265), despite the fact that Sartore seems unacquainted with the picture-is-already worth-a-thousand-words thing.

If those pieces don’t inspire you, take a peek at Caroline Gold’s turquoise and gold Harvest Moon wall tapestry; it’s 53×35 inches, and includes the rod, finials and mounting hardware ($260), or Tigergraphic’s spellbinding Harvest Moon print, (three sizes, $15-$40, pictured). If you love an Asian aesthetic, float around in Ando Hiroshige’s artwork. More contemporary tastes? Lill Vanderlaan’s “Harvest Moon” will enchant you ($20). And for the part of your soul that yearns for simplicity, Raul Touzon’s “A Golden Harvest Moon Rises Over La Paz, Mexico” will take your breath away at art.com ($40-$100).
