This is the view from the top of the Silo Slide at Hee Haw Farms.
The slide was made by cutting a hole in the farm's silo and inserting
a black, plastic corrugated pipe. With the sun shining up through
the pipe a series of concentric circles are formed by reflections
off the corrugations. A very cool visual effect! The view from outside
the pipe can be see in an earlier picture:

It's been in the news: "This is the first big partial eclipse to happen in the UK since 1999, and the next one isn't until August 2026, so this is a once-in-a-generation opportunity." - So all gear set up and waiting - hoping for a glimpse of that "once-in-a-generation" event...
BUT the weather didn't play by the rules where I live: Muddy skiess all morning... No sun to be seen, let alone the moon trying to cover it up...
Still, with all the gear in place, when the clouds went I decided to do a shot of the sun (background image - HDR'ed) and "post-processed" my moon in with Photoshop afterwards.
Ha: If you cannot rely on UK clear skies, create your own eclipse! ;-)

Dear Flickr-Friends, I am going on a journey with my family and will be off for two weeks. I wish you a healthy, colorful and creative time and happy Easter for those who celebrate it! See you soon :)
I don't usually post a second shot from a shoot, but I thought this one needed an outing! Shot looks up through a spiral car park towards the sky.
the time has come to close up the CLiC group pool for another year and to open up the hearts group for a month :)
(if you'd like to add just one more picture, i will wait until tomorrow/saturday afternoon, EST, to close up the CLiC pool until december 2017)
Helios-Sonnenuhr Ausschnitt 7,5 x 7,5 cm - 2,95 x 2,95 inch
Am Anfang den Tag und seinen Zeit zu messen hat der Mensch der sich selbst als Schattenwerfer benutzte. Im antiken Griechenland wurden Schattentafeln gefunden auf denen in Abhängigkeit von der eigenen Schattenlänge die Tageszeit angegeben wurde. Schattentafeln wurden im Römischen Reich und bis ins Mittelalter benutzt. Als Maßeinheit dient die Länge des eigenen Fußes.
Im 12. Jahrhundert tauchte in Europa der Polstab auf, womit die Sonnenuhr wie wir sie heute kennen geboren war. Mit dem Stab als Gnomon entstand ein Mittagsweiser, der die Schattentafeln ablöste.
Die heutigen Sonnenuhren zeigen mit Hilfe des Standes der Sonne am Himmel die Tageszeit an.
„Sonnenuhren sind seit der Antike in Gebrauch und waren noch am Beginn des 19. Jahrhunderts meistens gemeint, wenn von Uhren gesprochen wurde. Bis zum Beginn des 20. Jahrhunderts dienten sie noch in der Beschränkung auf die Anzeige der Mittagsstunde (sogenannte Mittagsweiser) zum Justieren der noch zu ungenauen mechanischen Uhren.[3] Heute stellen sie häufig nur noch Schmuck an Gebäuden, in Gärten und in Parks dar. Moderne Sonnenuhren in relativ aufwändiger Bauweise – zum Beispiel mit Bernhardtscher Walze oder die Helios-Sonnenuhr – sind in der Lage, sogar die „amtliche“ Zeit zu allen Jahreszeiten auf die Minute genau anzuzeigen, also zum Beispiel die MEZ oder auch die MESZ.“ Wikipedia

Helios sundial cut-out 7,5 x 7,5 cm - 2,95 x 2,95 inch
At the beginning to measure the day and its time man used himself as a shadow thrower. In ancient Greece shadow tablets were found on which the time of day was indicated depending on the own shadow length. Shadow panels were used in the Roman Empire and until the Middle Ages. The unit of measurement is the length of the own foot.
In the 12th century the pole staff appeared in Europe, with which the sundial as we know it today was born. With the staff as a gnomon, a noonday wise man was created, who replaced the shadow tablets.
Today's sundials indicate the time of day with the help of the position of the sun in the sky.
"Sundials have been in use since antiquity and were still mostly meant at the beginning of the 19th century when clocks were mentioned. Until the beginning of the 20th century, they were used only to indicate the midday hour (so-called "Mittagsweiser") in order to adjust mechanical clocks that were still too imprecise.[3] Today, they often only represent jewellery on buildings, in gardens and in parks. Modern sundials in a relatively elaborate design - for example with the Bernhardtscher roller or the Helios sundial - are even able to display the "official" time to the minute in all seasons, for example the CET or also the CEST.

Everywhere you look in London you can find amazing architecture and design that you didn't know was there. Not the first to photograph this one but grabbed some lunch in the cafe here and was astounded at just how many shots i could have had. Rather than take them all on the same day I will go back later in the month to visit this CitizenM hotel, stylish, eclectic and the most amazing spiral staircase to add to my collection. Its been photographed before of course so have tried to process mine without looking at any shots of it. I was working remotely and these surroundings inspired me for the afternoon I must say,
Taken for the #MacroMondays theme #Circles.
I have a powerful magnet base which is how I got the washers to stand up. Also the magnet made it easy to pick them all up when I spilled them all over the place. HMM!
