Battle of Aiken 2018

Took a road trip to Aiken this weekend for fun to watch the annual reenactment of the Battle of Aiken.  Here are a couple of images from the day.

More Lunar Lunacy

Just a couple more moon images since this eclipse was a very big deal and since I expended a lot of time, energy and dollars to witness and photograph it.  This is a fully eclipsed moon suspended over the soaring boulders in Joshua Tree. and a waning moon setting over similar boulders the following morning.  OK, enough of the moon for the moment; I will move on in the next post.

The January 31st, 2018 Total Super Blue Blood Moon Eclipse

Well, it was big and beautiful, and the first time since 1866 that this has happened, so I guess it is a pretty big deal.  Big enough to fly hundreds of miles for, and stay awake in the cold for :)  I will post more images in the next few days, after I have returned to Charleston, but here's a nine image collage of the various stages of the eclipse.  Unfortunately it set before it was over, so the entire progression was not captured from where I was in Joshua Tree, but this was awesome enough, and besides I desperately needed to find some hot coffee by the end of it.
