Lunar Eclipse: Rained out in Southern New Mexico
All prepared for the big lunar eclipse but it was rained out. The Painted Pony Resort received 0.21" from this late monsoon storm and it made viewing the event impossible. I did manage a photograph just at moon rise as the full moon rose just over the mimetolith (stone face profile) in the Peloncillo mountains just south of Antelope pass in southern New Mexico. Visible from the estate, this large stone face profile appears to be watching the full moon rise over awaiting the eclipse. I felt very fortunate to walk outside just at the right time on an evening when the moon was full and positioned over the mimetolith, it was just the right combination of factors to get a unique image.
