Blood Moon Eclipse

We had a little trouble viewing the blood moon eclipse on September 27th. First, we decided to view it from the Bay, so we drove out to the main Google campus, figuring we could park there and have a pretty clear view. Problem number one was the gigantic concert/festival that was happening at Shoreline Amphitheatre, causing the roads and parking lots to be closed off. Our Plan B was the rooftop of the Google[x] building so we headed home and then walked across the street. We set up shop on the roof in a little patio area.

Of course, it was pretty cloudy that night and we couldn’t see anything. We hung out for a while to see if the clouds would move away, and just as we were getting ready to give up Bruce spotted the moon which was still about three-fourths into the eclipse. I tried to take photographs of it, but had no luck getting a good one. Here’s the best I got, after we walked home, got the tripod out and set it up on the sidewalk in front of our house.
