Tony Berendsen solar projections


Daybreak skims westward
Seventeen miles each minute—
Unending sunrise.

High noon touches down,
Casting circles through pinholes
In a billion trees.

Sun Day’s reflection
Echoes off the space station—
A song at twilight.

 

Tony Berendsen of Reno, Nevada, sent us this photo taken during last year’s annular solar eclipse.  It shows images of the eclipsed sun projected on a wall.  Solar images form and project themselves naturally whenever sunlight passes through very small, pinhole-sized openings between tree-leaves.
