Please enjoy my latest video on YouTube: Chimney Rock Full Moon!
Charles Martinez offering his flute and music before beginning to play
The photos, film, and sounds were recorded during the Full Moon observation event at Chimney Rock National Monument near Pagosa Springs, Colorado, on September 29, 2012. Program by Archaeoastronomer Charles Sutcliffe; Native American flute music (and flute-making!) by Charles Martinez.
The event ended early due to a beautiful and dramatic electrical storm that came through that evening. This produced some amazing light in the Spires and surrounding landscape.
Packing up to begin the trek down the slope… surrounded by lightning!

Finally getting this posted… amazing Full Moon on September 29!
Spectacular!
Oh, it was an AMAZING experience! :D
Great shots, Leslee. The light and colours are fantastic! X
Thanks, Ashley! It was amazing to be there, and the new national monument status is a BIG deal! Now it is “protected”… :)
That’s great. I watched the video, too. It’s a marvelous place.
Especially I like the first one. That deep depth of field and the composition serve to make my eyes dance. Really well done.
:D
Looks like you had some spectacular weather.
Oh, it was incredible! I would have lived to have caught pics of the lighting flashing in the distance, appearing between the two spires! Probably a once in a lifetime event… :)
Pure Magic…
You’ve captured this pelceftry. Thanks for taking the time!
