Ed,

Great stuff mate

I love the howling bit, great twist on things

Lovely way to bring people together. Really, really well done

I took my family to the local beach which faces east and waited for the Moon rise along with hundreds of other people. I was really surprised at the amount of people who turned up, and traffic was at a standstill! I remarked to my wife that the Moon hasn't had this much attention since 1969!

The Moon for us rose behind some clouds along the horizon so no one was too sure exactly where along the horizon she would appear. She made her appearance in a very subdued way, taking a keen eye first spot her from the shadows and cloud. She was in full view but no one noticed as there was so little contrast to distinguish her - until yours truly did . And then the crowd responded in a surge of excitement. Quite a thrill!

Really a lovely human collective experience

Alex
