Moon In Shadow

The Moon is in eclipse as I type. Difficult to photograph as it’s over the back of the garden fence and through the trees of the park, but this image looks nice. What you are seeing is the Moon slipping into the Earth’s shadow where it is lit only by all of the sunsets and sunrises on Earth: hence the coppery colour. Go out and see it while you can.
