During the evening of the total lunar eclipse of 2011.06.15 I was at the National Rugby Stadium in Bucharest to see matches from the International Rugby Board Nations Cup.

Unfortunately, the sky was cloudy, as if the eclipsed lunar sphere did not want to be compared with an oval ball.

But my friend Valentin Grigore (president of the Romanian Society for Meteors and Astronomy - SARM), placed on a hill at 90 km distance from Bucharest, was much luckier and could watch and photograph the phenomenon.

So this haiga is a combination between two different feelings, materialized in his astrophotography and my haiku.

With all best wishes,
Andrei Dorian Gheorghe. (Romania)
