Yes, I have an image in mind of the other people (and especially my two daughters) with their eclipse glasses on, possibly with jaws dropped as they see the spectacle unfold.I think some great photos would be of the people who are watching the eclipse (am sure this has been done before!), bedecked with glasses etc. However, round here i don't think they have been issued to the cows

It is supposed to be a decent partial where i am
Thought about it, did some investigating, decided it would be too much faffing about for me, plus i am normally in my pj's by that time, so not bothering.

The second one for me, very nice.
Think it may have been "just another sunset" without the intruders.

Lovely set , indeed ! Liked the third one the most for its dual contrast- lighting contrast and subject contrast, soft flowers against hard wooden post and barbed wire ! The last one, too, is very beautiful with backlit glow !
