It’s now just gone 2:00am on the morning of the 4th.

Everone else has gone and it’s just ourselves, the stones and the moon.

(Taken with tripod and timer, by the way).

At work in the moonlight – 9.52pm

3rd March, 2007

By now you will be aware that not only was it a full moon on the night of 3rd March, 2007, but that we  had arrived, completely coincidentally, on the night of a full lunar eclipse. The last occurence of this had been 3 years ago – and then clouds had obscured observation from the UK.

Amazingly though, the clouds parted and the few folk who were present at the stones of Callanish this night were treated to an experience that none of us will forget.

Here we are joined by Rupert (another one) and John from Birmingham. Holding the wine bottle is Ian – a local archeologist.
