Jonzjob Posted March 20, 2015 Share Posted March 20, 2015 Anyone see it? I had a look to see if anyone had posted and was surprised that I could find nowt? I got this photo at 10.35 this morning through one of me welding shields. It came out quite well seeing that the glass in the shield is not the cleanest [:'(][URL=http://s47.photobucket.com/user/Jonzjob/media/Nature/Solar%20eclipse%2020.3.2015_zps8udez6pi.jpg.html][IMG]http://i47.photobucket.com/albums/f180/Jonzjob/Nature/Solar%20eclipse%2020.3.2015_zps8udez6pi.jpg[/IMG][/URL]It decided that we had seen enough of the show now and has clouded over.

Jonzjob Posted March 20, 2015 Author Share Posted March 20, 2015 Why thank you dear lady [kiss]Some would say that it breaks all of the 1/3 rules by being in the center, but I like it too [:D] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
idun Posted March 20, 2015 Share Posted March 20, 2015 At least you saw something jonzjob.All we had were clouds, and I wish I'd stayed in bed. I won't every try and see a partial eclipse again, I would try and see a full eclipse again though, that is worth seeing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suein56 Posted March 20, 2015 Share Posted March 20, 2015 Here in Morbihan we had hazy drifting cloud thinly covering the sun, which meant I got some short glimpses of the eclipse, enough to be mildly exciting. But then thick mist took over, no sun at all could be seen and that was it.Sue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mogs Posted March 20, 2015 Share Posted March 20, 2015 great photo, we tried to get photos through the special glasses but all we got was glare.we had a good view of it, in between the cloud cover. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gardian Posted March 20, 2015 Share Posted March 20, 2015 I guess that I'm a Philistine. Unlike the BBC, which has viewed the whole thing as life-changing.Nothing very much happened down here because we're too far south - it just got a bit duller on an otherwise dull day.However ........... would you rather spend a couple of hours at a halfway decent concert, or having a nice lunch in your favourite restaurant, or watching a decent game of rugby? I know that the eclipse was 'free' and good for the education of youngsters, but let's get real about this. In a few places in the northern hemisphere, it got dark during the day for a while.The next full eclipse in Europe is apparently in 2090 - I'll give it a miss!

Jonzjob Posted March 20, 2015 Author Share Posted March 20, 2015 Gardian, most of the things you stated can be done anytime and as you pointed out the next one of these is 75 years away. I 'wasted' a very enjoyable 1/2 hour until it clouded over. Tomorrow I will watch 3 games of rugby, hopefully all good?We are further south than you and you can see how much is covered here. I probably missed the fullest part too?Plus, at 10.30 there's not much chance of a concert of any kind, restaurants aren't open and the rugby is still in the training session stage init already [:-))] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulT Posted March 20, 2015 Share Posted March 20, 2015 Think it must have been in the 80s when there was a full eclipse in the part of the UK where I was and a very surreal experience it was of rapidly going from daylight to pitch black and back to daylight.Some of the beliefs of various civilizations was interesting.Apparently, there is a book listing all the eclipses and where they are visible for the next 400 odd years - could be a good investment.

mint Posted March 20, 2015 Share Posted March 20, 2015 Paul, yes, I SAW that eclipse. It was so strange, the light was like a deep violet colour and it felt as though the whole world stood still and every sound had a muffled quality.Apparently, there were very few birds singing or flying about as they thought it was night time but I don't know where OH heard that one![:)] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You must be thinking of the one in 1999.Mint, round us even though it was not a full eclipse the birds did fall silent. This is a common phenomenon so your OH is quite right.
