when is it ment to go blood red?

 

[nuthn2do]

There's only a chance on going red if there's enough dust in earths atmosphere. Could be yellow or brown, no one knows till it happens

It was just too cloudy, this was the only half decent shot I could get because of the cloud cover. Typical last night there wasn't a cloud in the sky.

 

[mr_muesli]

Great shot Boa, its too dark here in Sydney for it too be that bright, or maybe i might have missed it LOL....

 

[Retic]

Thanks but lets be honest it is a cr ap photo but unfortunately the best the conditions would allow. I can't believe last night was so clear, oh well I'll just have to wait another 6 years or whatever until the next one.
