Blood moon.


It's hard to imagine anyone hasn't heard about it, but in case you missed it: last night there was a total eclipse of the moon. It's also called a blood moon because of the red colour. This one was extra special since it was also a super moon, meaning that the moon and full and at its closest point to the earth, making the moon look big.
I didn't want to miss this rare event, so I'd set my alarm to 4:40am. As it turned out, I didn't need my alarm: I woke up spontaneously at 4am and got to see the spectacle. Of course I made some pictures, but it was very difficult to photograph such a dark moon without a tripod!
