Eclipse

Nothing clever about the camera - it's a Fuji Finepix bridge camera. Took the photos from the back doorstep -auto setting, just pointed and pressed the button.

I'm 72 this year, can't guarantee that I'll be around for the next one!

Oh, nice !
We had a thin haze which did not diminish the sun much to the eye so i did not even think of pointing my bridge (old PanasonicFZ18) that way !

no, me neither, (try having a heart attack on the morning of your 65th, that really makes you feel old , all of a sudden !) !

It certainly does
Oh! excuse us everyone, we'll be done in a min
Oh, that's ok we are in the general section !!
I wouldnt have minded at 64 or 66 but not on the morning of my 65th, that is just Himself taking the p. !

Really was a damp squip up here in Inverness (though on BBC website someone got a shot just between the clouds).

I thought it would be darker for our coverage, it wasn't as dark as rain clouds come over we've had this hear.  Anyhow, I remember watching the last one and still watched this one -partially glued to the TV for this one though.

...I thought it a bit funny on TV when Dara O'Brien ran off inbetween the demo of the eclipse and Brian Cox tried to "eclipse" Dara with his model of the moon on a stick -but the BBC cut it bit too quick, just as it was funny.
