Solar Eclipse

This afternoon's solar eclipse happened in perfect conditions for viewing. The clouds were just thick enough to remove much of the sun's glare, but not too thick to obscure it. However my attempts at photographing it failed. This shot is through my polaroid sunglasses at the maximum of the eclipse, but the crescent sun can't be seen.

But I was able to see the event by making a pinhole camera from a shoebox. A tiny crescent sun was projected onto the back of the box, and it was spectacular but on a microscopic scale.
