In the first picture our observation place is situated at the eastern edge of
the lunar umbra. Up to a distance of about 90 km to the west from us there is dark
(totality) and therefore the sky in the west is dark, too. On the opposite side, in the
east, the sky remains to be very light as just a few kilometres to the east from
us the Sun is still shining. The illumination of the landscape in the picture
is very soft because it is lit mostly from the east and we are looking in the
direction of the source of illumination.
