I marked Saturday, the 4th of April, in my calendar some time ago. A long forgotten article mention a full lunar eclipse for that date. A lunar eclipse like this gets the gruesome name, Blood Moon. Turns out I read the article better than my calendar, because on Friday the 3rd of April, I coerced some friends to have a late night picnic with me and wait for the moon that never hid itself.

Thanks to the magic of mobile technology and social media, I learnt why my moon had no dimmer switch about 10 minutes before the event was due to happen.

Well, we had a wonderful picnic of beer and pizza, a big full moon and some talkative ducks. So I made the most of the outing and shot a few environmental images.

enjoy the fruits of my mistake
