Blood Moon – 28 September, 2015

In Hermanus in the Western Cape of South Africa the moon  turned blood red at 4am on the 28th September.

I was outside with my camera ready to watch and record. The big question whether the clouds would be kind and dissipate so that I could see the moon. They did! Just for a while, but sufficiently to allow me to see the redness creep across the moon.

And then the clouds returned and the moon disappeared.

3.55am earth’s shadow begins to cross the moon

3.58am at it’s peak of redness
