All God's creations are absolutely beautiful and magnificent. Especially children ❤️

Glad you enjoyed man  :D

Eclipse was shite for me. Clouds covered the whole event apart from it getting dull.

I'm in France at the minute, conditions were perfect, but my little homemade viewer box was absolutely shite so could barely see it :laugh:

Sky looked pretty cool all the same

Yeah same here.  I got some nice photos of the clouds and it was cool to see it get dark out for it but no actual eclipse seen.

Looked cool from here (aysht Galway), I made a viewing box for my nephew and sent him off with it but forgot to make one for myself of course. The sky looked mad, was patchy/cloudy but the colours were great. The birds were going nuts, obviously very confused by it all.

Bit late commenting, but fuck it...

Was cloudy at home here in Fermoy for the eclipse too, but not too heavy. Just enough to make it visible to look directly at it silhouetted through the clouds.

Birds went apeshit here, too.
A murder of crowd swarmed from the trees nearby a few minutes before the peak of the event. Then they all decided to settle down on power lines across the road.
So many they bowed and shorted the lines. Massive bang out it, sent them all into a frenzy again.  :laugh:
