Iโm fascinated by the skies, you may or may not be aware. If Iโm not flying around in them, Iโm staring upwards. Sometimes at the sky, sometimes beyond it. My head is very often up in the cloudsโฆ Iโm either daydreaming or looking to see something magical happen.
Thereโs a Lunar Eclipse taking place right now, as I type. I canโt see it, however, the Moon is too low down in the sky โ or too covered by cloudโฆ the latter is usually the case when a Great Celestial Event takes place. I tend to miss them, although I did manage to see the Solar Eclipse last year โ and get some pretty good photos tooโฆ the cloud cover actually helped that day!
This is the best photo I took without reflection. The Sun looks like the Moon here, so Iโm pretending this is how the Full Moon looked earlier tonightโฆ and yes, I know that tonightโs Eclipse only covers the Moon in shadow, but my imagination is showing it to me somewhat differently.
I tend to miss more events than see themโฆ so seeing them makes them all the more special!
The image above is from the mystical isle of Elt Gored, where cloud cover didnโt stop the Lunar display as viewed from the ruined Central Temple.
At least if I donโt get to see these Celestial Events with my eyes, I can get to see them by other meansโฆ so all is good.
