Photo Gallery

I hope to get some pictures of the event from Cornwall; this page will be the photo gallery after the event.

I'll also post links to other eclipse pictures pages; if you have a URL you'd like to see here, let me know!

Note: thumbnails showing movie frames of the Golden Gate Bridge link to MPEG movies. These are large, so watch out for slow downloads.

Times are in GMT. Add 1 for BST.

Looking forward to the day... after seeing the weather forecast.
