These pictures come from the Lunar Eclipse that occurred during the early morning on February 21st. I was excited to catch these shots, especially the moon turning red, because it was announced earlier that we were only going to be able to see the beginning of the eclipse from Israel.


The above picture is of the Earth's shadow slowly covering the moon. The below picture is the beginning of the moon entering into a full Lunar Eclipse.

An eerie addition to the mood set by the red moon: as soon as the moon turned red, Jose (who's in Jerusalem) heard the mosques morning call to prayer - it's the first time he's heard it from his apartment and it was a wailing distant garble because he's usually too far away to hear it.
