These are some of the least dramatic eclipse photographs that you're likely to see ... I'd been waiting for the sky to darken some (it did - but not even as dramatically as it did during the anular solar eclipse in New Mexico last October, when, driving back from town - and having forgotten all about the event - I thought my car windows had suddenly become very dirty). No, today, I was completely ready - not to look at the sun through cardboard spectacles, but to enjoy the strange effect of leaf-dappling shadows, overlapping like sand ribbed by the waves.
Only - there were some strangely alarmed bird sounds, and the shadows certainly thickened, but I felt that I'd rather missed out on the excitement of the main event. All the same, it was gently eerie.
