People trying to see the black spot on the fun looked amazingly funny, also, this was about 01 am last night.
We probably looked like this ourselves, but who cares, we saw Venus (or a black spot) crossing the sun
Sun with normal camera, tried stopping it down (this is a lot darker than reality),
but ofc I have no amazing equipment or tin foil, so no Venus for you
Why are all these people on a sports field in the middle of the night?
See this video and article by the Guardian, so I don't have to explain anything. Anyway, we're lucky in the North, because the transit started around midnight, and where else can you actually see the sun at midnight in June? (Canada is also part of the North).
I very cleverly agreed to come to this event after a day of cycling and exercise and stayed up until two am, while having to get up at eight this morning to go to the Red Cross house and photograph people for their website. Oh, and I also have a cold. Clever girl. Now my bed calls me softly, and before that I think I hear some tea and chocolate calling from the kitchen as well.
