I'm looking out for it, but the sky is quite cloudy, and I think the moon is below my line of visibility at the moment even though it is above the horizon

We still can't see anything either. Have gone right upstairs to look out of the top windows but it's not where it usually is this time of night.

Clouds here too (Hertfordshire).
It's been raining again. Typical bludding summer. Rain, rain, rain, rain.

The clouds have a reddish tinge to them, but they're getting thicker...

Of course not.The irony is that after weeks of clear evening skies we now have thick cloud.
Every single worthwhile celestial occurrence for the past 10 years has been obscured by clouds around here.Why should this occasion be any different?

We have a perfect view now. It was behind some trees and most of the eclipse has been visible between two pine trees. Mars was a red dot at the bottom of the "v" made by the two trees. Incredibly photogenic but impossible to photograph without elaborate equipment.

And it's still over 30° out there and the cicadas are at it. Hedgehogs may appear on the scene later but I think we only have one confirmed bachelor in our garden.

This morning we have the cloud that you must have had last night in the UK. It is very welcome - cooling breezes and no hot sun. Mustn't gloat, but we obviously got the best of both worlds - clear night skies, respite from the sun this morning.
Our photos of the blood moon are not as good as the real thing - but there are some really fantastic ones out there.

Our CBC news on-line had some amazing photos - mostly from Greece and also the Swiss Alps. Oh, and Sydney down-under.
My little corner of Canada was mostly over-cast with haze and cloud too, so I didn't even bother to go looking.
