The eclipsed full moon rising over Reesor Lake in Cypress Hills Interprovincial Park, Alberta, Canada.
May 15, 2022 - The eclipsed full moon rising over Reesor Lake in Cypress Hills Interprovincial Park, Alberta, Canada. This was just before totality, with just a thin sliver of the moon stlll illuminated by direct sunlight. The moon rose in the late stages of the initial partial eclipse, but with the portion of the moon's disk in the umbra glowing a dim red and just visible in the blue twilight sky. Shortly after this image, as totality began with the moon entirely in the umbra, the moon had moved up into the increasing clouds at top that were moving eastward, and obscured the moon for the rest of totality. Photographed from the west end of Reesor Lake near the Saskatchewan border. The lake is home to lots of white American pelicans seen dotting the lake here.
