Description

"Running from the Moon"

While heading west on state highway 94 near Karval, Colorado, (mile marker 68!) I glanced in my rear-view mirror and saw this "road to infinity" view. I slammed on the brakes, jumped out of car, grabbed my camera with a long 300mm lens mounted (to compress /amplify that "infinity effect") and waited for a car to come towards me to give the scene an additional element of scale. I love that it had just finished raining and the road was wet and car lights were on (zoom in to see). Using my ephemeris alignment planning app, I found that the full moon will rise in this position at 7PM near the equinox on Mar 24, 2024. I won't (likely) make it back to see it, so I created what I have "in mind" using a prior shot of moon, placed into position and at proper scale for the focal length that I shot foreground with.
