Daily Photo – Day 38

20080207170509.jpg

Late this afternoon/evening there was a partial solar eclipse. Sadly, all the photos which my husband took of the eclipse images on the white card came out too blurry to really publish. So this is a photo of me (or rather, my arms) using our makeshift eclipse viewer. Simply it’s a piece of cardboard with a pinhole poked in it (and literally a pinhole … there’s another hole visible in the photo which was my first attempt which I’m covering up using my finger just let sunlight through) and another piece of cardboard to project the image onto. What you would have seen projected at the zenith of the eclipse was a crescent shape.
