Stepping out of his door one day, Colin saw this vision of Great Britain painted in the sky: 'A line drawn down the length of a map of England and Scotland - the 400-mile road taken by architecture critic Ian Nairn, photographing whatever caught his eye.' (Gillian Darley) Colin spotted this revealing cumulus cloud over Leeds, England.

You might like to have sight of this fantastic view of the event – photo comes from NASA’s APOD page

– look for the rare “Bailey’s Beads” around the Sun’s circumference. These are akin to stunning brilliant blue and/or white sparkling diamonds with eye-blinding light. Celestial magic!

A once in a lifetime vista. The last time I saw a complete – i.e. 100% solar eclipse, from memory, was in 2000. The next complete solar eclipse is not due to occur till the year 2090 by which time I, and many others reading this,, will have “pegged out” and truly burried and rotted or maybe cremated.
