Just in time for All Hallow’s Eve and the 75th anniversary of the Orson Welles radio adaptation of the H.G. Wells novel “War of the Worlds”, first published in 1898. The radio broadcast apparently frightened a number of people, but the “widespread panic” that supposedly ensued was overstated. Some people missed the opening which provided a context – that it was clearly a fiction – and the fake news broadcasts that subsequently followed did the rest. More info here.

Here are the Ventures old and new playing their signature song of the same title, originally recorded in 1963. And who knew there was surfing in ME, in September?

I only saw the cemetery – at the small grove of trees in the top center of the image – when I enlarged the photograph. Multiple gravestones, some large, suggest a number of generations buried there. Who knows when this vista first emerged from the primeval forest, and whether an act of nature or the hand of man?

I have a kayak and had a canoe, but beyond that the allure of the boating life is pretty much lost on me. On this night though, with low humidity, a low dew point and a full moon rising, a bit of the magic came through.

The remarkable colors of this sunset (photo not retouched in any way) are probably a result of the wildfires burning out in the Pacific Northwest and western Canada this summer, and the east-west flow of particulate matter. I first noticed this effect in 1991, weeks after Mt. Pinatubo erupted in the Philippines, when the sunset sky here in the Northeast turned a soft, otherworldly purple for some time.
