Not Pink Floyd’s famous album (which is one of my all-time favorites), but from Sunday night’s “Super Moon” lunar eclipse. Here are some images I captured of this pretty rare event, from my rural front yard. Here are images that cover the entire eclipse sequence:
An interesting night! I had been planning on shooting the eclipse on a prairie hillside, with free-ranging bison on the prairie, but I learned that the bison have been temporarily corralled, so that a veterinarian could inspect the entire herd. Poor timing! But the eclipse was still fascinating to watch :o)
