Winter solstice on a frosty winter morning held the promise of some beautiful shots. The moon having moved out of sight of Wexford town hours before it was to officially set. Don’t be disappointed Elaine Larkin of ‘Webcontent.ie‘ captured the lunar eclipse ‘moments’ on the other side of the county, Lunar Eclipse 21 December 2010.

The boardwalk was white and crunchy from the morning frost. Following my return to the studio I’d read tweet after tweet of snow in Gorey, Courtown, BallyGarret & not a hint of snow in Wexford town until 5 to 10 am a few flakes floated around. A while later it started to snow in earnest, within 15 minutes Wexford was covered and the snow rising. Wow! what a Winter solstice 2010.
