    Lunar Eclipse.

    A “Lunar Eclipse” occurs when the Earth passes directly in front of the Sun and the Moon. The shadow appears as a dark area on the bright lunar surface and is sometimes known as a “Blood Moon” given the orange/brown shadow. This shot taken on Bembridge Down on the Isle of Wight shows a clear crescent of the Moon and shadowed outline of the rest of it. This picture was taken approximately 80 x minutes after the Eclipse has started.

  8. It is 05:30 in the morning and Dawn is breaking in Ryde on the Isle of Wight. Looking towards Ryde St John’s Road from the Ryde Tunnel exit, the “Distant” signal helps guard the approach to Ryde St John’s Road. The train service will not be commencing on this Sunday morning for nearly another hour.

    A Dive in Vain!

    The Badshot Lea Goalkeeper dives in vain to save the ball entering the net. His face says it all and this was the first of six goals scored by Aldershot Town on a hot, sunny July afternoon. This was a “Pre -Season Friendly” fixture.
