A very strange type of darkness.

Try looking at it through your Y-Fronts.. Should be safe enough!

A very strange type of darkness.

Yeah, it's like the early phase of sunset around 2000 currently in Southampton, but in hazy cloud conditions.

Best I could get with phone through dark lenses, about 10 minutes before peak, through some light cloud. Big dark cloud came over just after this, just in time for the peak coverage. 🙄

Colander shot.. 🤷‍♂️

S E Lakes - very underwhelming.

Even the birds are still tweeting.

I guess a lot of people purchased eclipse glasses for no real reward.
