Morant's Curve in Banff National Park was made famous by Nicholas Morant, when he was tasked in the 1930's to create iconic images of the Canadian Rockies to promote tourism.

This photo was taken after midnight on March 3, 2026 during the lunar eclipse. It is a composition of 3 photos: the landscape was taken at 1:34 AM when the eastbound train from Vancouver was travelling through the curve, the lower part of the moon (non-eclipsed) was taken at 2:34 AM as a composition of 50 photos, the eclipsed (orange) part of the moon was taken at 4:04 AM and is a composition of 50 photos.

The reason for the blending for the moon was due to the exposure to show the orange colour of the eclipse totally clipped the highlights in the lower part of the moon.

Unfortunately by about 4:30 AM everything clouded in and I was not able to capture the full lunar eclipse.
