Picture by Roger Pittock, Salcott, England
Roger and June set up shop on the terrace of the Lodge at the North Rim. He used several filters whose names mean nothing to me. It was 98 degrees the other day in Salt Lake City when they came through. the temperature dropped to the 40’s the next day.
I thought this was a fabulous picture since I know the photographer. The sizes are just amazing.
Roger and June are in Bryce Canyon know. Bryce is known for its celestial photography shoots and star gazing. There is just nothing like a Utah sky!
Outstanding!
Something to put into perspective….
Those fuzzy spots are Sun spots. ALL of them are larger than the Earth. I knew that and yet when explained to me again…..with Venus for comparison….. whoa.
I thought it was trees on the horizon. Galileo I am not, however.
Here’s a time lapsed version of the event
