It was a magical evening. Hardly a breath of wind, a smooth sea and a slight swell.
As the sun set in the west, the full moon rose out of the sea to the east.
We watched it for a while then headed home for dinner.
Around 7pm the eclipse started. The earth's shadow gradually crept over the moon's surface.
An hour later it was completely covered
It was difficult to get a good picture with my small digital camera and standard lens as the two pictures above demonstrate. So I have 'borrowed' a picture from the local paper to show how the moon turned a brilliant red at the moment of the full eclipse.
Truly a great sight in the clear country sky.
