(Solar Eclipse Oxford 9.17am 20 Mar 2015)
It used to be seen as a portent of doom. For me personally it came in the very midst of the most turmoiled week I have had in a great many years. In the space of the 7 days directly surrounding that Friday the upheaval was such that had not been in my life in well over a decade. It may herald a dawn of new hope or of old despair, it may yield something of everything. It is at best and at worst no more than a dawn.
As the lights went out so a number of fixtures, a number of familiars vanished with it. Some were cherished, some may come to be. The world will never be the same again and it remains to be seen whether or not all the lights will come back on.

I love the image. It’s beautiful and sad. I can watch it all day. Almost like a painting but moving.
