Did you ever watch a partial solar eclipse? Without glasses, it is not even noticeable.

But even without glasses, there are other ways to "see" it, like with a projection box or another way to project its light.

Wow, those are beautiful photos.  I don't recall every seeing a partial eclipse.

Thanks for sharing those remarkable pictures. Nature never ceases to amaze me.

I remember there was an eclipse when I was a little girl. Being warned that I could go blind if I looked at it, I walked home from school with my head down, staring at the ground. LOL

The photos you shared were really great! This time we had a partial eclips too, but over here it occurred from 11.15 am until 01.03 pm with  the maximum at 00.08pm. No early rising to witness it for us☺️. The weather was ok, but there were some clouds and because it was midday there was no need to go to a place with unobstructed views. I just had to go outside. This wasn't the first one I have witnessed, but it remains strange to see the sun with the moon taking a bite out of it. Of course it stayed sunny but the light was a bit reduced and when it was over the light was back to normal. Contrary to a total eclips where the everything goes quiet, this time that strange quietness didn't happen.
