December 2011 Lunar Eclipse Mysticism

Watching the lunar eclipse through Turret Arch at Arches NP was really quite the magical experience. I almost half-expected druids to show up, heh.

The moon in this exposure was further away from totality than the previous, but the darker sky conditions actually helped to bring out more of the eclipse colors on the moon.

Wishing you all a great rest of the week!
