Lunar eclipse at Powell Butte, February 20th

This wasn’t really a hike, but since the pictures came out nice, I am sharing them with you. On February 20th, we had a total eclipse of the moon. Hours before the eclipse, Marci, Jeff and I began to discuss the possibility of going somewhere to take pictures. We decided to meet in Powell Butte, a park on the east side of the city. In the park, we climbed to the top of the hill, where we found an excellent view without much light. The perfect spot to take pictures of the moon. The first 20 minutes were devoted to the eclipse, but then, we begun experimenting with long exposure photography. The results, besides fun, were very interesting.
