As I mentioned last week, I went back to the Griffith Observatory to hear Apollo 11 astronaut Buzz Aldrin speak. I started following him on Twitter and was excited to see that he was going to be there talking about his autobiography, Magnificent Desolation. I really wanted to see in person one of the men who walked on the moon. I didn't shake his hand or get his autograph, but it was cool to hear him speak wistfully about his time on the moon, even after all these years. There were amateur telescopes set up on the lawn aimed at the Sea of Tranquility on the moon. This is the spot where Buzz Aldrin and Neil Armstrong set down 40 years ago. It was a beautiful evening and one that I'm glad I made the effort to be a part of.
Here's an eclectic group of images from my visit.
A question for everyone. I made two trips to see and photography the massive Station fire burning just east of here. I was going to make a post of some of these images, but I feel like there's been a glut of these and it might be too much. Gimme some feedback in the comments.

Man, do I just love the 3rd one. As for the fire pics, I haven't actually seen any, but I also live under a rock in the Midwest. :)
Amazing as always. And of course I would love to see your take on the fire!
I absolutely love your photos. What's with the boots on Buzz? does he always wear them?
As to the fire, I'd love to see your pics. Here in Texas we only get what the big networks want to show.
I would love to see your photos re the fire. Please do.
Please share the fire - seeing it from your POV is unlike seeing it any other way.
