Two Eclipses, One Couple, One Place
In 2018, my friends, Vladimira Krskova and Marian Runkas, and I traveled to Rhodes Island in Greece to enjoy the century’s longest eclipse of July 27th. I made a lovely portrait of them gazing at the unique phenomenon. This year, on 7 September 2025, they decided to celebrate that special moment and their love for each other and the magical place by visiting the exact spot for exactly the same type of sky phenomenon again. Here is the result: Both total lunar eclipses of July 2018 (with Mars) and September 2025 (with Saturn), and the same couple photographed from the same place. What a lovely celebration!
