Skywatch Friday – To the Moon and back to Earth

IMG_3593

Wednesday night was the Full Harvest Moon in Tulsa. Fortunately we had clear skies in Tulsa.

A friend in Arizona asked me if we had a lunar eclipse going on and I said, not as far as I know. Right after that the local news came on with a shot of eclipse so I grabbed my camera and went out and got my own shot.

Went on a bike ride again earlier this week. My knee held up pretty well and I was kind of babying it a little anyway. Anyway, I took another photo of our brand new dam and pedestrian bridge across the Arkansas River here in Tulsa. This is a view from the southwest side.

And this is a view from the northeast side. The river sure looks good with water in it.

And I rode back to my car down the east side of the river. Stopped for this photo. The hill on the other bank is the Turkey Mountain Urban Wilderness Area.

Sunday night I was taking our refuse and recycling carts to the curb for weekly pickup and I noticed this reflection of the sunset. Photographers are always droning on about leading lines. So after nearly 70 years of picture taking I finally got a leading line. So proud of myself.

I am linking with Skywatch Friday and My Corner of the World.

    Beautiful photos of the Harvest Moon. At one point I think I saw the eclipse. It just looked like a dark area, and I wasn’t sure what I was viewing until seeing photos and comments from others the next day!

    You should be proud of yourself, that last shot is spectacular! Great photos all of them. Your moon shots are impressive, as well as the pretty scenery but oh my, that last photo, wow!

    The detail on your moon pictures is spectacular. I didn’t bother with the partial eclipse, although it was nice that (at our location) it started at 8:41 pm and not around midnight (or so it seems, with lunar eclipses). As for your leading line photo – wow wow wow.
