The birds didn't mind at all, and I simply kept cleaning my windows (they've been in need of that for months), interrupting a few times to take pictures of the sun without actually looking at it myself. I doubt my pictures will be anywhere near as great as yours!<br />The 1999 eclipse was much more impressive. The light became all grey and strange, not like darkness at night, the birds went all silent, and the temperature dropped perceptibly.Librarianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05704656564078750607noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13883584.post-11989013322316871362015-03-20T14:15:51.147+00:002015-03-20T14:15:51.147+00:00Glad you managed a glimpse.Glad you managed a glimpse.ADRIANhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07113961163396562781noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13883584.post-25945705215685810582015-03-20T12:10:56.158+00:002015-03-20T12:10:56.158+00:00Hell.Hell.Yorkshire Puddinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06019673884543913089noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13883584.post-33045970323619001802015-03-20T12:09:54.442+00:002015-03-20T12:09:54.442+00:00"I may well be not here then " ? ? ?
