I was looking forward to this morning's eclipse, even if it was a partial covering.
Unfortunately, some clouds decided to make an appearance, just as the covering was coming to its best.
I grabbed the welders helmet and peered through just to make sure the glass would shield my eyes enough, and then set the camera to various settings to see what photos I could get. After a number of failed shots, these two were the best, then the clouds came and covered the whole sky and that was the end of it.

How come your moon is green? :)
On a serious note I always get misty eyed when I gaze at the moon always wondering who else in the multiverse is watching it too. Mostly I think of the underpriviliged such as people living in the slums of India and certain parts of Africa, etc. knowing full well that it is daylight in these countries. I just hope its warmer than here (minus 20 these days). I'm running to Europe and back to Qatar in 10 days for a month. Hopefully when I return it will be a bit warmer...
A2Z....cos the moon is made of green cheese. Didn't your momma explain that to you when you were a kid? :-)
I always enjoy the moon, but especially here on the coast where the humidity makes it look larger than inland.
The weather here in Cape Town is a gloriously sunny 25degC, wind's a bit strong, but I'm not complaining. We had a fantastic weekend last week, not a breeze for the whole two days, the first time since we moved down in October 2008.
Enjoy your travels...the middle east is a nice temperature these days. To the locals there, 20degC is cold...go figure... :-)
MOON??? Thats the sun dammit. It was a solar eclipse - not lunar! Or at least that'sd what I thought. But then my mind is poisoned by the inland air and stuff.....
So, with regards to the pic - looks to me like a coalminer who didn't wear his goggles, and decided to smile .....
Salagatle!
PS Nice pics.
