Total eclipse.

Thanks to Mel, a text from someone who's number I don't recognise (that could be almost anyone then, given my numeracy levels) and even Barney Bear who doesn't wish to encourage me in keeping odd hours) I was up at three this morning to record the last total eclipse of the moon till 2010.
Even the dog was out there with me until just before it began. While I was waiting for something to become obvious, I took a quick (slow actually) shot of the house bathed in uncanny and fleeting moon radiance from behind wispy clouds.

An awful lot of clouds in fact.
Rather nice ones
Which eventually dispersed and became a general misty effect
And made a bit of a rainbow halo round the last shred of moonlight
Thank you Mel, kind reminding person and Barney Bear :) It would have been a shame to miss the last one for 2 years :)
And now I must go and catch up on some sleep.
Hope you all sleep well :)
