It’s that time of year, the angles are lining up.
Sunset, looking due east, with the sun just over the horizon behind me and to the right, it’s reflecting brightly off of two objects, high and low.
Low, seen through the trees, about five miles away in Warner Center is one of those glass & steel office buildings, 6-8 stories tall. At this moment it made a fantastic mirror. The sunlight was nice and orange, having passed through a whole lot of smoke to get there.
High above the trees, the 3/4 moon, looking more white than orange, about 227,190 miles away.
In person, the office building was blindingly bright, the moon looked like you could just reach out and touch it, and the whole scene was lovely. Also, the winds had finally died down, although there are now five or six separate fires with over 100,000 people evacuated, something on the order of 2,000+ structures destroyed, at least five deaths, and close to 30,000 acres burned.
We’re still fine, thanks!
