Autumn Sun

It's not often you can take a photograph of the full disc of the sun without damaging your eyes or cameras. The red coloration is due to their being a lot of Saharan dust in the air.



And sometimes a little bit of cloud and shadow enhances the mood - just waiting for Storm Ophelia to pass by now.



If you want to know how far and fast the Sun apparently moves across the sky in five minutes, sit back and enjoy a bit of Pink Floyd in this video. But if you can't wait that long, just drag the scroll bar to the right.
