The Full Lunar Eclipse

It's not often we get a full lunar eclipse so even though it wasn't until 3 a.m. it was worth making the effort for.


At that time in the morning the sky was fairly clear...


...so armed with my camera and video camera, both on tripods,...


...I ventured outside onto our bedroom terrace.


An eclipse, which can take a couple of hours in this instance,...


...is not the most stimulating spectacle...


...but fortified by several cups of tea, I survived the ordeal.


Just in the last few minutes when everything was getting very dark...


...a light dusting of cloud came across and I was unable to see the eclipse in all it's glory showing the "blood moon". That's the way it is - better luck next time.
