Solar eclipse clear over Tintern Abbey

20th March 2015

The Solar eclipse  was wonderfully clear  over Tintern Abbey at 09.28 this morning and there were many photographers waiting to capture the perfect image.(Following advice not to look directly at the sun this is best left to those with computer screens attached to cameras so this picture shows the darkening  and dramatic sky rather than the outline of the eclipse itself).The village became quite dark, like early evening, and shadows lengthened.The temperature was already crisp and it did feel cooler for some while.A memorable event.
