Something is about to befall us...
Today is Winter Solstice, with a full moon AND a total lunar eclipse. If I were a druid I'd be running for cover now. We're doomed....
I tried to take some photos this morning but they were poor. Probably due to being tired (6.50am), bloody freezing (-10) and inept. So heres one I took earlier...
Near totality, a red glow, March 2007
John Malloy has some real pics on his blog of this mornings show...
Speaking of Omens, I was coming home from work after lunch today when, just north of Widdrington, a tiny Bat flew over the snow and ice covered road in broad daylight. The temp was -2.5. I couldnt be sure but it looked like a Long eared Bat with ears curled back, but my view was very brief.
It could be a warning...
That bat could have been switching its hibernation roost Stewart. They do that if they get disturbed or if the place they are using gets too cold, they always have a reserve spot :-)
ReplyDeleteSo its not armageddon then?
ReplyDeleteThat's a beautiful shot of the moon Stewart and how lovely to see a bat. One of my favorite creatures. Wishing you a Merry Christmas and a wonderful New Year.
