Picture Gallery 2003

Dramatic dawn   As the dawn mist slowly clears, a dramatic sights greets our eyes when the eclipsed sun turns blood-red just above the horizon.
The horn of blood!   A close-up view of the "horn", crossed by bands of low cloud.
Sunrise   The crescent sun against trees is a very strange sight!
Climbing higher   The sun brightens as it slowly climbs higher and the moon recedes.
Annularity!

  See - I told you they were lucky! A still image of "totality" from a video of the event taken in Iceland. The rather unusual colouration is due to a (precautionary) filter being used.
