A
photographer in Guatemala received a great chance to capture an incredible
photograph of the moon disguised as Saturn.
This
majestic photograph was shot from the perspective of the Acatenango volcano
base camp. Thanks to the photographer Francisco Sojuel's six hour long hike we
are able to witness a once in a life-time scenery by our eyes.
He had seen
this mesmerizing event suddenly when he looked up at the sky in the early
morning before sunrise. He had seen the moon as if it was dressed as Saturn.
Both
Guatemalan highlands and the silhouette of Pacaya volcano is shown in the lower
part of the image. As per to what Sojuel said, the cloud seems to be a
cirrostratus cloud made of ice crystals.
He had seen
halos around the moon when seen from different angles. The texture of the
surrounding cloud has been a bit thick and fluffy. Perhaps, it is a
cirrostratus fibratus or a cirrus spissatus cloud. Both these clouds are quite
denser than the other ones and are often made by strong winds.
Sojuel is a
well-known character in the field of photography. He has gathered fame for
astrophotography and amazing landscape photography. Scroll down to check out
some other wonderful shots of him.

ReplyDeleteAbsolutely beautiful
ReplyDeleteBrilliant photography.. absolutely beautiful!
ReplyDeleteI have never seen a long, thin cloud like that be tilted to the horizon???
ReplyDeleteI have seen flat clouds displaying on a tilt around tall mountains. Specifically, Mt. Shasta in CA and Mt. Rainier in Washington. Rare but they catch the eye and make you pause. This relationship with the moon is extremely delightful!
DeleteIf Eyota likes to primarily focus on photography articles, then I feel like they would benefit from investing in higher resolution for their photos that artists have worked so hard to create. It’s a shame seeing beautiful photos but in low quality, especially from the source. The Eyota logo could also be touched up to better represent the website.
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely beautiful. Is there photos licenced and protected. What if I want to use the images for book cover?
