Wonderful. Last time we had a decent eclipse (I think it was total) round here was the year we moved house (1999.) We moved in September and the eclipse was in August. At the totality I was digging up some daffodils that I'd bought on holiday a few years previously and wanted to take with me. Eclipses now make me think of daffoldils!
ReplyDeleteCelia, what a clever idea. This photo is a great keepsake of the event. I am always very excited when a partial eclipse occurs. x
ReplyDeleteWhat a great way to watch the eclipse. I'll have to remeber this for next time.
ReplyDeleteMagical.
ReplyDeleteJust fascinating! I still have my eclipse goggles from about 10 years ago! should have got them out today.
ReplyDeleteThat is so clever!
ReplyDeleteThat's a very good photograph and a good way to watch an eclipse.
ReplyDeleteVeg heaven - we went down to Devon to see the 1999 toatal eclipse - very special.
ReplyDeleteLouise - I didn't realise that I taken such a good image until I viewed it on the big screen.
Jules - thank you!
Threadspider - it was special indeed!
Matron - we've got our 1999 eclipse goggles too, but they are stuck in a holiday journal.
Gina - I thought the experiment had failed until I enlarged the photo!
Moreidlethoughts - I was pleased with the effect of the clouds and sun and the little blue crescent sun!
