Winter solstice, 2010. A total lunar eclipse over Gougane Barra, and the mountains above the valley covered in snow. The timing of this was remarkable. A total lunar eclipse falling on the winter solstice hadn't happened since 1638, and the conditions that night in West Cork were perfectly clear and bitterly cold.
The moon sits deep in the Earth's shadow here, that distinctive blood-red colour caused by sunlight refracting through the atmosphere. Below it, the ridge is dusted white with dark rock breaking through. The deep blue of the sky at that hour gave the whole scene an almost otherworldly quality.
I'm glad I dragged myself out into the cold for this one. It won't happen again on the solstice until 2094!
