Perfect for your 4th of July weekend cookouts:
A soundscape of the recurring nightmare of Trump 2.0, where spectacle, mind control, racism, nationalism, fascism, drone on; dissolving into the eternal night.

Clouds at sunset covering the Moon and Venus conjunction here. Did you get to see it? Look up, just after sunset.

Several owls, all hooting over each other. Freezing.

And over all eternal Wisdom broods,
In silent watch above the shining maze,
And from the outposts of their solitudes
Binds all in chorus of majestic praise.

November skies.

The waning Moon glows through thin clouds, creating a lunar halo as the last of the leaves cling to an oak.
