Once in a lifetime

So, incase you missed it (which I almost did), last night there was a Lunar Eclipse which coincided with the winter solstice.  This is the first time this has happened in over 300 years.  So I went outside in the 33km/h wind and tried to get a good shot of this event.  With a crick in my neck and frozen hands I stood on the porch with my camera pointing strait up on the tripod, and watched the moon get swallowed by the earths shadow. And just as the last sliver of moon was about to disappear... the clouds rolled in and hid the whole thing.  None the less, here is a shot of what I did see.
