   Explanation: This timelapse series captured on October 14 is set
   against the sunrise view from Sunset Point, [5]Bryce Canyon, planet
   Earth. Of course on that date the New Moon caught up with the Sun in
   the canyon's morning skies. Local temperatures fell as the Moon's
   [6]shadow swept across the high altitude scene and the brilliant
   morning sunlight became a more subdued yellow hue cast over the reddish
   rocky landscape. In the timelapse series, images were taken at 2 minute
   intervals. The camera and solar filter were fixed to a tripod to follow
   the phases of the [7]annular solar eclipse.
