ABOVE: Usually, a bright moon is detrimental to capturing
photos of stars. The "blood moon," in which the earth briefl y
casts a shadow upon the moon, however, provided the
opportunity to photograph Trunk Butte under the stars.
Even though the moon is dimmed during the lunar eclipse, it
still appears as the brightest object in the sky.
RIGHT: The ever-photogenic Crow Butte looks even better
with a moon on top.
OPPOSITE RIGHT: Rugged Pine Ridge scenery paired with
a pretty sunrise that even features an outline of the sun.
