Nice shot -- thanks.
I saw the moon at the beginning of the eclipse (right after moonrise), when only a very small area was eclipsed, then the moon moved up into the clouds. Several times I went outside to see what changed, but couldn't even find the moon, for the clouds. Finally, nearly 11PM MDT, I went outside to look and the sky had cleared and the moon had a very small area still eclipsed (opposite side of the first one, of course), so I don't have any decent pics.
Strange that the clouds moved in shortly before the eclipse, then moved out about the end of it.

I think there is some law governing events like this. I didn't see anything either. And I stand no chance of seeing the one in 2033. ???Larry N. said:

I like the sort of surreal effect.

We had partly cloudy skies here in upstate NY but luckily the clouds were scattered enough to see the whole event almost uninterrupted. No photos of our own but have seen a lot of very nice ones out on the internet and on Kim's Facebook.

Wednesday night I drove down to St Petersburg to watch a Rays/Marlins baseball game at Tropicana Field. I left the game around 9:30 and headed home driving over a long bridge that goes over Tampa Bay. The moon was just starting to rise over the city of Tampa and it was the largest most beautiful moon I have ever seen. It was right above the horizon, a golden orange color and slightly oblong since it was two days removed from being full. This was the first time in a year of using a cell phone for my camera that I wished I had a better camera with me. I did pull over and take a few shots but they did not come out.
The bizarre thing about the view was that last year I drove over the bridge and got a nice shot of an eclipse while driving.
