Total Lunar Eclipse

When most people were tucked up in their beds last night, I could not miss  this wonderful show of our universe-the lunar eclipse.  Getting the picture was a waiting game, hoping the cloud wouldn’t spoil the spectacle.  On this occasion, the heavens were kind to me.
The next one is in ten years time and I’m hoping to get that one too!

This kind of eclipse occurs when the Earth passes precisely between the Sun and the Moon. In this situation, the Sun is behind the Earth, and the Moon moves into the Earth’s shadow.

Santa Seen in Resolven

Santa was spotted by our RDN phographer Mike Davies, as he dashed round the corner by the Farmers Arms, even bringing his own snow with him.   He told Mike he was doing a practice solo run (without the other reindeer) to make sure everything goes  smoothly on Christmas Eve.

Good luck Santa and Merry Christmas!

Santa Feeds the Birds

Feed the birds, tuppence a bag!   Santa is on his way and our RDN photographer Mike Davies was lucky enough to bump into him and capture this lovely picture for us.

Hope you managed to let Santa know what you want for Christmas, Mike!
