The blood moon rose over the horizon in New Zealand on 14 March.
Unfortunately, I couldn’t spot it at low altitude due to the clouds. The blood moon later appeared at an altitude of 7 degrees, just 10 minutes before the end of totality. That’s a relief. grin.gif 
It’s a digital sketch created with a Samsung Galaxy Tab S7 + & Clip Studio. I also included a photo of myself that I sketched at that time.

Wow!  Feel like I could step right into this one.  Can almost hear the surf.  Nice, subtle work on the values!
