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! ;-)
Made for mental sanity & Sliders Sunday: HSS!
Looking across the capped tops of the bars of an aluminium fence at the Thebarton Oval, with the green grass in the background.
In Australia, we call our sports stadium an "oval" because that is its shape.
Another view of the former administrative building of the HypoVereinsbank, currently under renovation as part of the revitalisation of the Tucherparkviertel under the project name Eisbachviertel.
The area was initially developed end of the 1960ties by the Bayerische Vereinsbank (became HypoVereinsbank, now Unicredit Bank) with office spaces and a hotel. Most of the buildings are empty, under renovation and they are listed structures nowadays.

Constructed in 1894, the courthouse retains much of its original architectural detail includ- ing stained-glass skylights, decorative tilework, and even light fixtures, furniture, and telephone
booth (a la Superman). To commemorate the building’s centennial, the Auglaize
County Historical Society restored the Statue of Justice, which
formerly stood on top of the tower, but now graces the building’s lobby. You are
more than welcome to visit the courthouse during busi- ness houses—8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., Monday through
Friday--but please remember that this is a working building. Court may be in session
My attempt at the "Smile on Saturday" theme "multicolour bubble bokeh".

Memories of Copenhagen - a beautiful town I fell in love with ;))
The circular Rundetårn (Rundetaarn / Danish for round tower) is a tower in the centre of Copenhagen, which served as a observatory of the University of Copenhagen until 1861.
It has a diameter of about 15 m and a height of 34.8 m. Apart from the last few metres, it is not climbed by stairs, but by a 209 m long spiral corridor that winds around the centre of the tower in seven and a half full turns.
This equestrian staircase made it possible to deliver books, instruments and the like by horse and carriage.
And it is said that the king he went up there comfortably by carriage, too :)

Erinnerungen an Kopenhagen - eine wunderschöne Stadt zum Verlieben ;))
Der kreisrunde Rundetårn (Rundetaarn /dänisch für Runder Turm) ist ein Turm im Stadtzentrum Kopenhagens, der bis 1861 als Observatorium der Universität Kopenhagen diente. Er besitzt einen Durchmesser von etwa 15 m und eine Höhe von 34,8 m. Bestiegen wird er, abgesehen von den letzten Metern, nicht über Treppen, sondern über einen 209 m langen, spiralförmigen Gang, der sich in siebeneinhalb vollen Drehungen um die Turmmitte windet. Diese Reittreppe ermöglichte es, Bücher, Instrumente und dergleichen per Pferdewagen anzuliefern.
Und es ist überliefert, dass König Christian IV. sich hat mit der Kutsche nach oben fahren lassen (ganz bequem - bis auf die letzten Stufen ;))
I couldn't resist the title - sorry. This shot is taken literally round the bend of the road from Farleigh Wallop on the way to Ellisfield. It is a favourite stop of mine and I am not surprised that when I have met others at this point they too say they have come out of the town just to sit at this point in the road and look back down the dip[ and up the other side of the valley.
