Here are a couple of photos from Tartu, Estonia, of the lunar eclipse on the morning of September 28th, 2015.
The weather was cloudy from the start and the Moon was visible only about a minute at a time and possibly less than five minutes in total during the whole time we observed it. There was even some rain.

Totality. We were starting to lose hope of seeing it, as the horizon at our location has tall trees. The Moon disappeared behind them in about a minute and a half after capturing this photo:
