Celestial Drama in Myvatn - a photo on Flickriver

The last lunar eclipse, September 27-28/2015 was a real gift as I was during this period in Iceland and the weather there is completely unpredictable. It is NOT like in the American Southwest were I have a 90% chance to see the unfolding of an entire eclipse as the weather will most likely be clear.

So I was hoping these two weeks of Iceland for good weather during the night for two reasons: total lunar eclipse and northern lights. My luck was enormous as the only night that I got to see northern lights was the same night of the total lunar eclipse.

The unfolding of the celestial drama was truly an once in a lifetime event! The whole setting got even more out-of-this-world with the cinder cones in the foreground giving the feeling to be a guest at USS Enterprise and visiting a planet in some distant galaxy.

Interested in a photo tour through the American Southwest? I can help you with it and make you come back with unique shots.
