A Heavenly Spectacle in Christchurch



Today we were treated to 2 heavenly spectacles in Christchurch, a wonderful Nor’ Wester sunset and a Lunar Eclipse.



 We were not only able to remember to look at the right time but we also managed to take a few picks to capture the grandeur of the moments.


The Nor’ West wind flow fair wacked us today but it was worse down south towards Ashburton. Still, I had to tie up the trees to stop them being blasted out of shape!


Towards evening we were treated to a 30 minute transitional light display as the setting sun lit up the Christchurch sky.



The lunar eclipse was set for 9pm but no-one could find the moon. Troublesome. But towards 10pm Mr. Moon finally made an appearance and we were treated to our second celestial delicacy of the evening. It’s these small things that life is about!

And just in case you did not see it we decided to point it out to you!


 Tomorrow may be somewhat boring with just a sunrise and sunset.
