The sky over the San Fernando Valley was dimmed a bit today during the solar eclipse.
It wasn't a total solar eclipse here (according to the L.A. Times: "Those in the direct path of the eclipse will see the moon nudge its way into the center of the sun, leaving a ring of fire visible around the moon's edge. Scientists call this an annular eclipse. ("Annulus" means "ring" in Latin.)"). The sun was a crescent in L.A. with 85% of it blocked by the moon.
The photo below was of a wall during the eclipse. Crescent-shaped images were projected by gaps in the tree foliage from across the street onto the wall. The photo was taken with my cell phone in the hills above Tarzana.
