Beautiful pic, LA!

I lived in wolf territory for quite some time and now I live where they would be shot if they came around. I used to be able to hear them at night, and I really miss it.

or if I started howling.

the back yard was full of bunnies. Not this night. Saw one earlier ready trotting for the food I leave out.

Never seen moon look like this before, it's 16 degrees here with a howling wind but I could see stepping out kitchen door in southern overhead sky. Earlier as it was rising in east, was huge like a giant spotlight shining down.

Earlier tonight, the moon was beaming down on a very cold and totally clear night here in Georgia, with an awesome, silvery intensity like I’ve never seen before!

so we bundled up - 4 actual windchill, who knows, -10? and got out to the driveway. Really fascinating.

I can see how someone would start a new religion.

The clouds faded way earlier in the evening, yielding a crystal clear sky. Moon was absolutely brilliant before and after eclipse.

While it was progressing, I opened a live YouTube session presented on a site called Virtual Telescope, where an astronomer in Italy was linked to several astronomer/photographers that had good views, mostly in the USA. Poor guy couldn't shoot anything there in Rome due to horrible weather and he had the flu to boot, but did a good job presenting all the good telescope sites.

Anyway, because it's so damned cold here, I bobbed back and forth between the YouTube channel with their gorgeous live photos and outside here with binoculars. The views here were excellent and I only wish I had my telescope set up. It would have been very time consuming to do considering the cold and snow, and I just bought it a couple of months ago. It would have needed to acclimate to the bitter cold, so I decided against doing that exercise (which I would have done in my earlier years).

Regardless, my son and I enjoyed seeing it in person and I captured several screen shots from YouTube for the memories.

Thanks for the OP and great photo, LakeArenal.........
