I didn’t know there was going to be a lunar eclipse, but one night I decided to take the camera to the small beach next to the campsite. That “beach” was our evening retreat. It’s actually only a cut in the line of boulders put up to secure the higher coastline where the railway tracks are, but it was a nice place to sit and have a drink. Taking pictures that night wasn’t that easy since I didn’t take the tripod with me and I got increasingly drunk.
The first pictures are taken before the eclipse, with the rising moon and the sea.

I wanted to catch the moonlight on the sea, but I would have needed a tripod and a half-coloured filter to darken the upper half of the image.
Those first pictures with the moon close ups are lovely. I love the waves hitting that fort too.
Thanks!
Photos of the sea always make me happy.
Photos of the sea + moon = double happiness.
The crashing waves are beautiful.
I’ve read the title as: “Holidays on The Moon”, multiple times.
Also, the Italian song* “Guarda che luna” comes into the mind, especially as some people here sing the Finnish version (“Hopeinen kuu”, Silvery moon, which the moon in the pictures isn’t) when they’re suitably drunk.

* = I’m not that much into Italian songs as a genre, it’s just that plenty of them have been translated to Finnish and they have been big hits, especially for my parents’ and grandparents’ generations.
Marvellous pictures. Thankyou.
