So last night/early this morning was the first Winter Solstice full lunar eclipse in 450 years or something like that. Lucky for me, I wasn’t at home in Indiana when it was visible as everyone I know said there was a snowstorm that completely covered the sky. That’s too bad because it was REALLY cool to watch.
In my parents’ back yard in Boise, ID, there were only wisps of cloud and it was a remarkably crisp and clear evening. It was also fortunate that I decided to leave some non-essentials at home and throw my tripod in the carry-on. Best decision I could have made, hands down.
Here are some of the shots I got from last night.
