Sometimes you can look directly at the sun.
I don’t know why, it’s a fascinating phenomenon. I assume it must be because the clouds which cover it block out most of the searing rays, and so you are left with just the bright circle of our closest star.
Could be mistaken for a moon.
I was mesmerised for a good five minutes this afternoon. My photos below look like I could have captured the moon. But believe me, it is the sun!


You may be able to do it, but it is still dangerous π

Oh yes, I was starkly aware of that the whole time, and when the clouds began to clear I looked away sharpish π

It was really fascinating. When I first saw it I thought it was the moon, but it was the wrong place, and when the clouds parted it blinded me π
