This beautiful photo of the lunar eclipse was taken by ecstaticist near Victoria, BC, and posted to Flickr. And many thanks to Lydia for phoning and reminding me of this. I only saw the last one because CG was out on the patio smoking something and thought he was hallucinating for a second. What would I do without my friends? I’d miss things like this while waiting for YouTube to load, that’s what I’d do!












That’s a beautiful photo.
I missed the boat on the eclipse. Did you get to see it with your own eyes, then?
Yes, Lydia phoned and I took a look around while it was in this phase. Quite nifty. The last one I watched from beginning to end, pretty much. It went red!
Metro called me to tell me to look too. Otherwise I would have just been reading all night. It was beautiful.
I stood outside in the 5 degree weather for an hour last night watching it. it was pretty fantastic. No where near the picture you posted, but it was very cool, and cold.
Where the hell was Metro if not at home in the middle of the night?
This is why Alison, my wife, convinced me she needs a 300mm lens! :0
Oh, you know it’ll be worth it. But you’ve got till 2010 to save up for it; no more eclipses till then!
I missed it. but thanks for posting the beautiful image
Great pic!
Nurse, would you have seen it? It would have been broad daylight where you are.
Glad you liked it. I so wish I had the gift of making great photos, but alas I do not.
that’s probably why I missed it :-)
Would account for it.
How beautiful. Rain, you have great taste!
Glad you liked it.
wow. amazing.
I wish I had the gift of making photos like that, but nope. I have only the gift of pointing them out.
