Synopsis
Twenty-six views of a moonrise over Lake Michigan near Jacksonport, Wisconsin, a forested limestone cliffside cut by the tides into deep caves that thunder in the oncoming rush.
A respite and warning at a time of 113ºF/45ºC heat, drought, and millennial fires in my home of California.
A meditation on time, attention, and reverie, and a recognition of human traces within an implacable environment.
