Greetings from San Cristobal and beyond. This week I got up to watch the lunar eclipse. I hadn’t intended to photograph it. I’ve shot it so many times before. When I looked out the window I couldn’t resist. The sky was crystal clear, and the stars were genuinely twinkling. The “cold-hearted orb” wasn’t. It warmed up the night sky and I felt it. I got the camera set up in the front doorway, out of the cold and wind, and began shooting. The most significant impact it had on Pami and me was how three-dimensional it appeared suspended amongst the stars. It was another wonderful, lunar eclipse-watching night. I can honestly say that I will continue to get up to watch future eclipses from now on.

The day before the eclipse our moon rose unblemished in clear skies, visible out the dining room window, although I did go outside for this shot.
New snow in our mountains last week.
I had originally considered driving south to the Taos tipis for a shot. I thought of a composite instead. This is what I came up with. Here’s the image with the tipis and lunar eclipse from April 2015
As always, thank you for looking. G

Can you hear the applause in the wind? Your work is simply breathtaking. It is also a sop for a homesick soul. Thank you.

I love the tipi composite as much as the Moody Blues reference!
Thank you, Rob. I hope you are well. G
Thanks, Rob, for the pertinent and poignant reminder:
“Cold hearted orb that rules the night
Removes the colors from our sight
Red is gray and yellow white
But we decide which is right
And which is an illusion”~”
