A Midsummer Night's Dream

Photo-sequence. It was one of the most marvellous events we could see in “our” sky within a very long period: The longest total moon eclipse in the century (July 2018) and simultaneously a very bright mars opposition. We travel to the south in Tuscany, near Magliano. It was a Midsummer Night’s Dream.
