Knowledges at Mt. Wilson

Tomory, his mother, and I attended Knowledges at Mt. Wilson this past Sunday afternoon. The drive up to the observatory and the views from the final destination were stunning. We didn't have much time to spend there that afternoon, but we were lucky to catch Katie Grinnan's performance of her Astrology Orchestra at the 60-Inch Telescope. I wish I could credit the other art pictured here- but there were no placards that I could find (Elleni and Christina Congratulations on your spectacular event :))
