Solar eclipse

Chris brought his solarscope projection gadget into work on Friday. We
all gathered round his desk at 10.15am to watch the partial eclipse of
the Sun

I wish I'd had my big scope and camera setup for it!

Here's a snap I took with the iPhone.

Testing blogging from iPhone

Took the 'bent up Box Hill

After some furious, tiring peddling (and wobbling at low speed) I managed to get the grasshopper to the top of Box Hill this morning.

Lovely view, beautiful weather.

The return journey was much easier but I still need to get the hang of fast twisty descents - its great when you get it right - but was often being too cautious breaking heavily into corners and trying to steer to much rather than lean more.

They are looking little less bright than when I processed them in Lightroom. I may try uploading to Google Albums as well (which has a higher quality slideshow option)

Here's a link to the photos stored at Google Web albums - should be much better for viewing and downloading:
