The Village at Leesburg

This afternoon, having done some shopping at the Leesburg outlet stores, we went to have a look at a different shopping centre known as the Village at Leesburg.  This is an entirely newly built 'village' of shops and restaurants with flats above.  There are a number of social spaces including this one where there were comfortable outdoor armchairs surrounding a combined fountain and fire pit.

Another reason for visiting was to see a film at the cinema there where, in addition to 3D they have 'd-box' seats which move according to the action in the film.  We weren't sure that this was an improvement but it was certainly novel!

As we set off for home this evening the streets were illuminated with tiny lights in the trees and art installations..

On our way home the full moon seemed large and rather red (no photo unfortunately).  Apparently the red colour was due to smoke particles in the atmosphere from fires in Alberta and Saskatchewan recently.  

Whilst looking that up I discovered that tonight's moon was also a 'blue moon'.  This has nothing to do with colour, though, but is the name given to each of the full moons when there is the rare occurrence of two full moons within the space of one calendar month..
