Moon Over Northwest Indiana
There's always something magical that happens in the evenings right around the time of the start of a new school year.
Broiling hot days give way to moderate days filled with golden light. Evening air loses the humidity that marks the summer time. Night air becomes nice, crisp and invigorating. The days get shorter as the year begins its wind down.
The night visits sooner. The moon seems to get a little larger.
A large moon floats over Northwest Indiana last night.
Portillo's Restaurant in Merrillville is always a beacon for hungry patrons with its bright neon lights.
Night lights brighten the night sky at Marcella and 61st Avenue as fast food restaurants and gas stations compete for customers.

Like your moon shot. Interesting nuances of color.
In the South, we get the fall weather you describe later than you do, but I know the air you are describing. There is a certain fresh smell to it. I call it "football weather."
Hi Donna,
I always enjoy fall with its warm days and chilly evenings. The other night I smelled someone burning wood -- that's another sign that fall will soon be here.
But, it's still nice and warm outside, even though school has started, so I'm going to enjoy summer for as long as it wants to stick around!
I think our moon gets it's interesting color from all of the particulate matter that is floating around in the air. Sometimes it is a scary red color!
