    November 14, 2016, the closest moon approach since 1948! A scant 221,524 miles away, the moon won't be nearly this close again until November 25, 2034. Smoke from North Georgia wildfires casts a thin veil over the night sky, but not enough to blot out the SUPERMOON!

    Cheers and high tides!

    Very somber feeling from the music and vision. Very provocative synthesis - a deep-seated grasp delivered!

    I've been watching the wildfires going on around the southeast. Unreal weather-pattern(s) are making their presence known - good luck!

    I didn't get to sit down and enjoy it as long as I'd have liked, so I appreciate the video.
