The Eclipse - Blood moon

in photofeed •  6 years ago 

Tonight was the night... The Blood moon was showing. It would be the longest eclipse of the century :)
So I took my camera and went on the road. The spot I picked wasn't a quite one ;)

On the next picture you can see already a little peek of the moon.

It took quite some time before you really got to see some really nice eclipse, I tried to get it on camera..

Pictures could have been better, but I only took my 18-200 lens.. Sorry :)

It was great to see, strange that this will not happen within the next 100 years or so.....

Have a great sunny day

Nice shots! I wasn't able to make it out to try to see it.

Thanks, it was cool to see... Nature has some great surprises :)

Super!! Cool nature.

Cool isnt it, thank you :)

you caught it quite well actually!!

I only had like a crappy dot which wasnt even clear if it was the moon of a dirty lens hahahahah.

These kinds of nature things are so super nice I find, the one thing that beats it are total solar eclipses..that is something so exceptional I find!

lol... I do also like nature's unremarkable things.. :)

I was also bad luck with the clouds in Cape Town at our home , but caught some cloud breaks and got a few shots that I will post now! Blessings and upvoted!

Great, thanks. Will have a look !!

Hier niet te zien😢 ik was op pad met de kleintjes en die waren echt teleurgesteld! Maar bij jou super mooi gelukt

het duurde ook ff, was om 21.30 gaan staan maar om 22.30 begonnen pas de eerste contouren zichtbaar te worden.. :) De hele donkere zijn van 23.00 uur

Great captures!!!!!

Thank you :) I tried ;)

Awesome shots!
I captured it also last night & shared here in Steemit. Checkout on curator after yours.

Thank you, and I will :)

Quite jealous that it was too cloudy here because I was waiting until the magic moment, the days before the moon was visible from our outside our home.. but the sky was filled with clouds yesterday :(
cool shots though!

No need to apologize for the images, you did a great job. We looked all over for the moon, but couldn't find it at all. It reappeared from behind clouds after the whole event was over :(
Thanks for sharing. Now we know what it looked like :)

Gorgeous, Peter! Here in heavy monsoonal rainy season there was no chnce to see anything (it POURED rain!) but we FELT that deep primal darkness and the pull towards the light. Lovely post.
