eclipse o'clock
To make sure that I caught this moonrise-eclipse, I went up the church tower 45 minutes early. With the sun setting, and a constant stream of tourists filing past, it was cold up there, pushing up against the ancient stone, in the sunset, in the shadow of the earth.

penumbral blush
Somewhat perplexing - according to the USNO data services the moon was to rise in total eclipse, one minute prior to sunset. How could the the planet I was on cast a shadow from the sun I could see in the sky, onto a satellite already visible in the same sky? Fortunately, the moon obliged, by being a few minutes late. A large hill may have had something to do with it...

How to catch a cloud (12): sky silk
