Morning twilight over the Tweed

Breakfast outside whilst we watched the eclipse play out over the Borders. The birds weren't impressed, they went very quiet. It was quite eerie. A quick glimpse of Armageddon.

I hadn't thought through the type of light we'd get and vaguely stared at the golden light over the fields before I realised that the light was abnormal and that the reflected light was going to be worth photographing.

Sadly, I can remember the last eclipse of the sun, 50 years ago. We were all taken out into the playground at primary school to see it. I may be imagining this but I think we were encouraged to glance at it, but not stare.....

Seems the last eclipse was in 1999. I was out that day.
