Think that may be it for us....they say about 91percent for here.

I used a small telescope to project the image onto a wall.........

We were only going to get 85% 'blackout', so it hasn't even got dark.
It's slightly gloomier than it was (due to cloud) - that's about all.
No sunshine or bright light to compare the gloominess with, so I'm now cooking my breakfast :-D

91% is excellent Ann.

I don't think it's anything like that here... unless my pinhole is misshapen :-D :-D

Still much, much colder here, than it was earlier, and with a gloomy feeling!

The sun seems to be getting brighter again now

The end of the world is nigh - but not before election day.

Lucky people if you had enough blue sky to see it - sooo jealous!

Although it got a bit darker, nothing more than if it was about to rain heavily.

We had people come to the door to collect something at 9.25 - they had said 10 am hoping to have seen the eclipse first. The poor girl was shivering because the temps had dropped since she got dressed. :-)

I'm still seeing a curve, a small section missing on the left side of the sun on the reflection, but it's much brighter now

I have changed my Avi------ Taken 9.33am from my garden

Here comes the sun (doo doo doo doo)
Here comes the sun, and I say
It's all right

Little darling, it's been a long cold lonely winter
Little darling, it feels like years since it's been here
Here comes the sun
Here comes the sun, and I say
It's all right

Little darling, the smiles returning to the faces
Little darling, it seems like years since it's been here
Here comes the sun
Here comes the sun, and I say
It's all right

Sun, sun, sun, here it comes
Sun, sun, sun, here it comes
Sun, sun, sun, here it comes
Sun, sun, sun, here it comes
Sun, sun, sun, here it comes

Little darling, I feel that ice is slowly melting
Little darling, it seems like years since it's been clear
Here comes the sun
Here comes the sun, and I say
It's all right

Here comes the sun
Here comes the sun, and I say
It's all right




:-D

Wow GL

Great pic.

I have just tried to take a photo from the inside of my homemade viewing box. A bit after the fact. I only just thought of it!

I'll see if I can get it up on here!

theres nothing here its just gone dull as if its going to rain

the last one I was in Luxemburg and was miles better :-( :-(

Fantastic GL - I'll have to ask if my friend near Truro had clear skies.

Added 12 Aug 2027 - book your Egyptian holiday now ;-)

You can all laugh at my efforts now ;-) ;-) :-D :-D :-D :-

Avatar is the eclipse from inside a Yorkshire Tea Box! :-D :-D :-D

The eclipse was mostly over when I thought about taking a photo though :-( :-(

Never mind :-D

Jemima the eclipse is still on right now.
The moon's shadow has almost passed but there's still a small section of sun missing from the left side.
It's too bright to photograph :-( :-( :-(

Thanks GL

I did think it was, but I thought maybe my pinhole on my box was wonky :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D

I've just been back out. The pinhole is fine, I can just see a small missing piece of sun to the left :-)

Great picture Budgie :-) :-)

very clear here - no problem seeing it :-D

Fantastic pic Budgie.
I tried sunglasses over the camera lens but I couldn't get it right.

Was sunny here,so tried the colander method ...and it worked...didn't go dark though as it was only partial so it just wasn't as bright for a short while.
