I AM WHAT I AM

Crimson Macaron

The beautiful blood Moon captured on 13 March 2025

On 13 March 2025, a total lunar eclipse occurred, which can be viewed in North America. This rare celestial event was a spectacular sight to behold. The bright section of the moon gradually dimmed and turned a deep red colour, earning it the nickname “Blood Moon”.

The pictures are all captured with my Sony ILCE-7M4 camera and Sigma 100-400mm F/5-6.3 DG DN OS lens, all taken in Seattle, Washington, USA.
