One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Just saw Mahler Symphony of a Thousand in my local movie theater(broadcast live from Caracas Venezuela) with a chorus of 1100 and orchestra of 200+. Mahler, Maurus, Goethe, reaching across centuries and social classes to touch and change th lives of people all across north america.

Last nights sliver of a moon(really just a thumbnail) and the penumbra on an unseasonably warm night.
