We woke up at 4:30 am and drove to a spot about 15 minutes north, which we knew would give us a wonderful outlook to the west The moon had already started its transformation and over the next 2 hours we watched the eclipse reach totality from our gorgeous vantage, overlooking Wollumbin Mountain. Whenever I see one of these incredible celestial events I love to imagine what our ancestors might have thought about it all, surely the moon turning blood red must have felt like a portent of the end! Behind us the sun was beginning to rise and right about the time where the eclipse reached totality, all of a sudden, the deep red moon faded into the lightening sky and disappeared. We never did get to see it come out from the shadow of the earth but I was so thrilled to have witnessed such beauty and wonder and very happy to have captured an image of it not long before it disappeared.
