Clear and cold

luneclipse-thumb.jpgWhile we were on the way to dinner with Hadley and Angus it suddenly became clear that there was a bite out of the moon.

So we stared at the sky from the parking lot across from the restaurant, and then we walked around to one of the back streets of New Paltz with less light and stared at the sky some more. I rested the camera on top of some local's SUV and pointed it upwards, and we stood around until our 8 o'clock reservation was coming up, which was just a bit before totality.

My fingers froze, but it was worth it.

Great picture.
I watched from my front steps. There was a family next door all in lawn chairs and children.

Thanks for the lovely photo! I had this marked on my calendar ages ago, but was too preoccupied with other stuff to check it out.
