Southern New Mexico, Wednesday October 8, 2014

I may have to start a new feature: “The World from Harry’s Lazyboy”.

Here’s my view at Elephant Butte State Park, New Mexico.

 

This morning I got up at 3:30 a.m. to take pictures of the Blood Red Eclipse.  I had everything ready to take outside and start taking pictures.  I got seven pictures taken and at 3:52 clouds moved in and the moon was gone.  It decided to come back 4:30 and I got another 252 pictures.  Many of the pictures have clouds covering some part of the moon, it was not clear in New Mexico.  At 6:30 a big bank of clouds must have moved in because I didn’t see the moon again, I gave up at 6:45.

Here are some of the pictures:
Notice the star on the left side of the picture.

We drove north to visit a state historical museum about an historical road from Mexico City, Mexico to Santa Fe, New Mexico.  This road was first used 400 years ago and it’s called El Camino Real.
