    Great eclipse – could it see it grand!
    Cloud acted as the perfect filter.
    Irish weather – protecting your eyesight since the dawn of time!

      Yep, thin layer of cloud in South County Dublin was perfect. All moved very quickly and the eerie darkness and chill is especially dramatic. Good show.

    ’99 was much better. It’s enough to make you all mushy and nostalgic about solar activity…mmf.

    Got a quick look at it too. Turns out the net curtain on my window was a perfect filter too. Delighted.

    God damn Enda Kenny and his cohort putting up clouds in our way…. another waste of our taxpayers money!

    I managed to snap this about half an hour after maximum obscurity when the sun briefly peeked through the clouds.

    As said above, for once the clouds acted like a giant set of sunglasses and could see the eclipse perfectly through the haze (not always but at the perfect moments).

    Irish Clouds Pros : Works as a filter for eclipses
    Irish Clouds Cons : Place is full of terrorists as spy satellites can’t penetrate and take pics

    Carnage down our way, herds of bioraptors (or Northsiders as we sometimes call them) went on the rampage but luckily Vin Diesel turned up and kicked their asses.

        Don’t you dare say a bad word about the Shinners. Just you marvel at their initiatives like this anti dog fouling ad which they’ve launched today for their Newry and Mourne council area which they control. Money well spent, I know you’ll agree. More of this sort of thing down here I say.

    …my disappointed 90yo neighbour complained that it was the last eclipse she was getting up for.

      I hope you told her that she will see the next one from the opposite side of the sun. Will be awesome.

    All that you touch
    All that you see
    All that you taste
    All you feel.
    All that you love
    All that you hate
    All you distrust
    All you save.
    All that you give
    All that you deal
    All that you buy,
    beg, borrow or steal.
    All you create
    All you destroy
    All that you do
    All that you say.
    All that you eat
    And everyone you meet
    All that you slight
    And everyone you fight.
    All that is now
    All that is gone
    All that’s to come
    and everything under the sun is in tune
    but the sun is eclipsed by the moon.
