Description

Amateur photo of December 2010 Lunar Eclipse as seen from New Orleans.

Original description:

3:15 AM, New Orleans

Of course this is a terrible photo, but it proves I was there. I caught some zzz, then got up at 1:45AM. The total eclipse was in full effect. A half dozen people were hanging out in the street in front of Banks Street Bar, gazing upward. I went around the way to Michael's house, and we raised a toast together, a cocktail of my own invention, brandy and rye whiskey and pecan liqueur and bitters. I called it a "Brown Moon Rising."

When I got back home I roused Persephone to take a look at the eclipse out her bathroom window. I'd explained the concept earlier, but now she was understandably groggy. I'm not sure she even really remembered the next morning. Fortunately she went back to sleep easily.

I was not so lucky. After lying in bed for a while, I got back up to eat a bowl of cereal and read and check out the moon again.

I found the partial eclipse even more interesting than the total.
