    The path along the polders to the west of Zaandam was loaded with people and their glasses and camera and fancy cardboard boxes. 86% or whatever of was sounds like a lot, but it was still really bright out there. This photo is the best thousand or so images I've ever taken of an eclipse, thanks to a tree and a neighbor's house.

    the side of a brick house with a tree's shadow over about half of the surface. in the gaps between leaves that light would normally pass though to land on the wall, instead there are hundreds of faint crescent shaped images of the sun, upside down. the tree is a big camera obscura.
