These are pictures from the lunar eclipse taken by my dear sis from her Santiago (Chile) flat last night and graciously shared with me ! Little did she know I was going to hit the publish button right away. She apologized for the amateur pictures but I find them great. Thank you, sis!
Isn't it simply fascinating?? I look out the window at 2am CET (Central European Time) and the moon looked like in the second picture...only the other way around! because of the different hemispheres.I have been looking at the eclipse pictures found in Flickr, absolutely mesmerizing!

It is so strange when you see the moon the other way around. In Egypt a little boy told me the moon is sleeping because it lay instead of standing. Now I understand why yesterday night it was so bright outside when I opened the window door but I couldn't see the moon it was too cloudy.
ReplyDeleteFor Mr. Gattino it is every night full moon and for Lisa too !! (poor me)
Cool! I love watching eclipses, it's one of the few times we can actually see that the earth and moon are actually moving!
ReplyDeleteWe watched it for a while, but it was tooo cold out.
ReplyDeleteYou did so good! I tried the do photograph the eclipse and it was a disaster. You did really really good.
ReplyDelete.........and of course, it always happens for me when I wanna watch it. CLOUD cover!!! What beautiful photos.
ReplyDelete[I'm gonna have to play that message in a bottle meme]
I was all set up and started to take the shots and what happened next? The clouds moved in and it started to snow!
ReplyDeleteThank you to your sister for sharing the photographs and of course to you for posting them. The lunar eclipse fascinated me. I'm going to see if any of my shots are worth posting. I may just post the weird sky. Between clouds and trees which interfered with where it was during the eclipse I had a lot of obstacles but hopefully of the 50 some shots I took a couple will work. Your sister did a good job and I also like the fact that you gave us the links to peruse too.
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad to see these photos. I missed it myself. I do remember thinking it had snowed because the yard was full of full moon light.
ReplyDeleteWOW! I think they are great too! It was waaaaaaaaay cloudy here last night and so we had no view of it! Thanks so much for sharing these!!!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for sharing. We missed most of it due to cloud cover.
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by for my birthday!! I was so surprised and happy to have someone new. Thanks so much. I know you and Melli are great friends and so are we. She came here for our blogging babes week in Savannah, Ga. We had a blast for sure.
ReplyDeleteCome back and visit as well I will also..Sandy
I forgot about the lunar eclispe
How nice of you to share the pix with us! I wanted to see it badly, but it was too cloudy here.
ReplyDeleteAll we had was cloud :( so it is great to be able to see your sister's pictures. They really are good!
ReplyDeleteDid you have cloudy skies too? Did they bring any rain?
Lovely! We had a lot of cloud cover as well and the eclipse was hardly visible here. I was asleep anyway, though, so thanks for the pictures! :-)
ReplyDeleteAh, yes, I heard about that but didn't have the time or energy to watch it. Now I regret that, because they said that it would be red here in Stockholm. Now I wonder if that can have been what we saw in the summer once...
ReplyDeleteBTW: You mentioned Tavira in your comment. Funny enough, I had already a post ready about Tavira which I posted tonight :-)
How cool, maybe we was there at the same time, both you, Tor and I? *giggles*
these photos are beautiful! How not to be impresse in front of the eclipse! Your sister did a very nice job!!!
ReplyDeleteIt beautiful outside here so I stayed outside and watched...it was beautiful!!!
ReplyDeleteHere's the original recipe http://www.foodnetwork.com/food/recipes/recipe/0,,FOOD_9936_34070,00.html
ReplyDeletebut I do it way easier...I'll post both on my blog for you.
fabulous. I saw it too! I tried to take photos while trying to make dinner, feed my family and bath my 2 year old. I am afraid I didn't get great shots!
ReplyDeletelove these though!
Ph Mar...I think they are WONDERFUL, too!
ReplyDeleteI completely forgot about it and a dear friend called me about 5 minutes before it was completely eclipsed...So, I took a few pictures but they are not good at all.....I am so sorry I forgot!
You tell your Sus that these are EXCEPTIONAL! Thanks for sharing them, dear Mar.
we were warned here in the UK that we probably wouldn't see anything- too much cloud - so I am very grateful to see your sister's pix. Thank you. coincidentally yesterday I posted Frank singing 'Moonlight in Vermont.'
ReplyDeleteMichele sends her best.
Michele sent me back over to admire your sisters eclipse photos again. They really do capture it well. Thanks for sharing them :)
ReplyDeleteI loved seeing it. We went out to the beach and then from our balcony. The sky cleared up and it was unbelievable!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE these pictures. I also blogged about the eclipse, but from the NY viewpoint. Come on over and check it out! Have a great weekend!
ReplyDeleteGreat shots Mar, thanks for sharing them. I think I would have loved to have watched the eclipse with your sister in Chile. It looked like it was much warmer than it was here. Thanks for dropping by!
