Lunar Eclipse...

Normally from the front of my house the Sun and Moon can be seen without too much trouble all the year through and the only way it cannot is when the sky is cloudy.

After a lot of publicity in the media we were told that especially in the North of the UK we would witness a lunar eclipse from approx 6.20am this morning.

The sky was clear so I was ready.

Unfortunately, it took so long for the Earth to cast it's shadow that the moon managed to disappear behind three trees at the top of the street and by the time it cleared them it had dropped further down the skyline and the sun had brightened the sky so much the moon was virtually invisable so it was not as spectacular as it could've been.
