WPC: rare

2016/08/192016/08/19 solaner

This week’s topic for the weekly photo challenge by “The Daily Post” is “rare”.

This tiny thing shaped like a cut-off fingernail is the biggest thing in the solar system: the sun itself.

I picked an image taken during a (partial) solar eclipse. I wrote a bit more about this event and the circumstances in a past post. You can also find some further images in that other post. Have a look!

Solar eclipses take part every few years, but they are visible only in a small area and this area changes from occurrence to occurrence. So, it’s a very rare event in every man’s live. And, many people will never seen one.

Take care have a great weekend!

I like it, too. Maybe you should sign yourself “Solar-ner” for today. 🙂

  LOL – great idea, Janet 🙂
  Thank you very much
  but, in fact, that part of my nic really references to the sun. (Spanish: sol)
  the sun makes us living and illuminates everything, so that we can see. And, photography means painting with light. The light comes from the sun and here we are 🙂

At first I thought, what a strange image of the moon. Lol! I love this photo of the solar eclipse. I’m excited for the solar eclipse to happen on August 21st, 2017! I’ll have my camera ready!

  Thanks, Amanda! You also guessed right: the moon is also in the image 🙂
  Unfortunately, I can’t make it to the 2017 eclipse. So I still hope for the next one

      Yep – without the moon we won’t have had an eclipse 🙂
