I like when you enlarge this the different stages are on a full background of black like moons stretched across the sky. <br />I saw an eclipse of the sun when I was young. Not sure how old I was. I do remember feeling a little fear at the eery like kind of darkness in the middle of the day. To be honest, quite how I imagine the end of the world. :)Carlettahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11178161514195582965noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8856747756759071827.post-59843246889178001612012-11-15T06:15:03.087+10:002012-11-15T06:15:03.087+10:00thank you for these wonderful photos of the eclips...thank you for these wonderful photos of the eclipse! great job!<br /><br />i have never tried to photograph a solar eclipse, even a moon eclipse.<br />i totally enjoyed your shots.<br /><br />big hugs~Betty Manousoshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08549686306725800208noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8856747756759071827.post-85368137030242061592012-11-15T05:26:02.414+10:002012-11-15T05:26:02.414+10:00you got the true account of Diane; nice seriesyou got the true account of Diane; nice seriesCarole M.https://www.blogger.com/profile/13261384312136535762noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8856747756759071827.post-46807657000195051022012-11-15T03:01:09.840+10:002012-11-15T03:01:09.840+10:00We had one here some years ago.
