#Eclipse
9/n

I did sit out in the backyard for about 15 minutes around 1:30 AM this morning to look at the #eclipse.

🌒🌕🌘

I had made up a thermos of sweet red tea in honor of the red moon (hibiscus, honey, pomegranate and other delicious things) before I went to bed, so that was warm and waiting for me next to my glasses case on the kitchen table.

I feel very mooned-up now, between the bike trip to the field to watch it rise and then getting up to see it eclipsed. Ahhhhh.

Every time I look at our only considerably-sized orbiting body, I wonder if it feels lonely? I've been reading space fiction again this week. Our space in general feels really lonely to me. 😔

Canon EOS M200, 300mm Canon telephoto lens. One long exposure for cloud motion blurring, one medium exposure for the redness of the eclipse, and one short exposure for the details of the bright crescent. Composited in Procreate for iPad, levels and details adjusted in Snapseed #LunarEclipse #Eclipse
