Honey Moon

Last night, for the first time since 1967, the Summer solstice (longest day) coincided with a full moon.
Often referred to as a 'strawberry moon', named by North America's Algonquin tribes of North America, who believed June’s full moon signalled the start of the strawberry picking season.

This Moon is low in the sky. 
This forces its light through thicker air, which also tends to be humid this time of year, and the combination typically makes it amber coloured. This is why it is also known in the Southern hemisphere as the 'Honey Moon'
