It's all gone strangely dark outside...

Just feels weird outside...I remember the full eclipse back in 1999 which was a beautiful sunny day if I remember and everything went eerily quiet when the sun had a break for a few mins.

Cloudy here but it filtered the glare perfectly with 2 more pairs of Oakleys on!

Just a good reminder about how small we are in this unimaginably big universe.

Was excellent here, issued everyone with some optical glass with a very deep anti glare gloss, perfect for looking at the eclipse.

Result was even happier staff on a Friday

I can now go in to the weekend with a warm glow in my heart knowing I made people happy.

Or it could be heart burn bugger

Funny thing is during the eclipse it was like 4 degrees, by the time it hit noon it was about 13 degrees.

Nice pic

Was able to view it internittently through the cloud cover. Nothing to exciting though. Sort of expecting total darkness. Nope!
