Hugh took the No Words Daily Pix picture last night during the eclipse. At 4AM I woke up to the sound of him leaving the apartment with his camera, tripod and other equipment.

He stood on the corner of Third Street  and Sixth Avenue and took pictures Our neighbor Tim gave him some gloves to wear.

Prior to that Hugh was gloveless and so inspired.

At about 3:30 AM, the beautiful full moon rose above New York City. The Earth passed between the sun and the moon. It cast a shadow on the moon with unusual colors.

According to NASA (via Tonic) “the moon reflected even richer colors because there were extra particles in the air due to recent volcanic activity.”

Tim: thanks for the gloves. Thanks be to the universe for the eclipse. And thanks Hugh for the beautiful picture.
