Lunar Eclipse in the Headlights

The progression of the lunar eclipse above the road between Denver and Boulder. This is a compilation of multiple shots of the moon as it rose, joined with the long-exposure of head- and tail-lights. I had planned to use a light painted windmill as the foreground instead, but when I did some advanced ground work on the windmill views the land owner threatened to prosecute me for trespassing. I thought the carlights would work as a leading line, and found a stretch of highway that faced east southeast towards the rising moon. In truth the base photo was taken a couple of days before the eclipse.
