“A supermoon is the coincidence of a full moon or a New moon with the closest approach the Moon makes to the Earth on its elliptical orbit, resulting in the largest apparent size of the lunar disk as seen from Earth.] The technical name is the perigee-syzygy of the Earth-Moon-Sun system. The term “supermoon” is not astronomical, but originated in modern astrology. The association of the Moon with both oceanic and crustal tides has led to claims that the supermoon phenomenon may be associated with increased risk of events such as earthquakes and volcanic eruptions, but the evidence of such a link is widely held to be unconvincing.” https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Supermoon

The GOP 2016 Platform includes the following: “an amendment calling for the indiscriminate and immediate disposal of national public lands.” See related articles
Each time I post photographs I will be wondering if they are a chronicle of the end of America’s wild spaces. Home to our wild beings in beautiful mountains, deserts, forests, rivers, lakes, wetlands, glaciers etc. Will we fail to protect the last places not destroyed by man?
Love to ALL!
