Sadly, I was suckered into taking the great grandkids to Skegvegas today. Was driving back through Lincolnshire and Nottinghamshire as the eclipse unfolded. Sort of managed to see glimpses in the shadows cast by trees on the A15/ A46. ( curved shadows) :wink::wink:

We had a similar incredible view at the back of Stirling. Yes those dots are flying ants and midges :heart_eyes:

The end of the eclipse taken on a phone on Morecambe prom. More interesting than the sun is a Fire Rainbow to the right, officially known as a circumhorizontal arc. Apparently quite rare and nothing to do with the eclipse, pure coincidence.

I went with my friendly camera club, Field End Photographic Society to Ruislip Lido Beach to observe the eclipse. While most people had solar glasses and filters for cameras, I wnet for the low tech approach of colander and pin hole projector. Here is the colander in action on the beach:
