Harvest moon or Hunters moon

It seems ike this full moon has a few different names - some call it the Harvest moon because it is the closest full moon to the September equinox, and other's call it Hunters moon because in the northern hemisphere this was the time of the year for the hunters to be active. According to the Centre for Astronomical Heritage in South Africa, it is called the Whale moon.

Either way - the moon was high and bright at about 5h30 this morning, but by 7 am I could not see it anymore.

And here is a nice pic of this morning.
