Yes, it is known as the Blood moon, but the clouds prevented me from getting it earlier.
The clouds were not solid and I knew that sooner or later I would get the moon.
Apparently we have a storm moving in slowly, as they reckon it will arrive on Thursday and in the meantime some patches of advance clouds are moving in. The cold and the wet we can handle, but with no electricity it's going to be a battle. Today we will be switched off at 8pm and each time the power cuts last for 2.5 hours.
Eventually I got the moon almost clear, but it took some patience.
This street lamp episode will show you how the moon at the right eventually cleared the first layer of cloud.
Eventually the moon cleared the cloud but the sky remained hazy.
This was 30 minutes later and the best that I could get.
Lately all of our full moons have been colored by clouds and it's going to be a long wait for summer to get clear skies again. We have winter arriving now and as I said before, it's going to be a dark, wet and cold winter. The bad thing is that we don't have a fireplace inside the house and so it will only be thick blankets and lots of coffee that we make on our small gas burner.
We had a few of these occasions last winter, so luckily we know what to expect.
I hope that you have enjoyed the photos and the story.
And That's All Friends.
