Another eclipse picture. I constructed this animated .gif from several of the pictures we took as the eclipse moved from its diamond ring phase (where the moon obstructs the last little bit of the sun's disc) into totality (when the corona becomes visible). All shots were 1/250 at f/11, I believe.

Date: 2006-04-14 01:14 am (UTC)Regarding the earlier Q about Pamela's books, I really hesitate to rec books to people, I am usually so wide of the mark. But Juniper, gentian and Rosemary has an astronomer as the main character (tempt tempt), and Tamlin is one of my top ten favorite books.
ben and I were talking "high replay value" games and books last night, and she's got very high value. They are officially YA books but the main characters sound like core voice in my head (shush)I can't place them agewise except by experience. The other thing is she's incredibly mmph reread knowledgeable? But wears it lightly. Tamlin throws asides of Stoppard and Christopher Fry and Shakespeare, and oh lots of things, you'd probly get more than I would. So you are always finding soemthing new.
No Dumas. Not that I noticed. have I mentioned Steven Brust before? There's enough there I may have missed it. I have a real fondness for the ballad itself (and I think JGR sparked off Childe 1) but the way I read Janet in that ballad; I don't usually see that in author's riffs.
I think underneath that and why I am drawn to that particular ballad has to do with basic things about people. I've probably totally scareded you off the book by now. Anyway, no need to rush out and get it, just someday when you run across it.

(I don't think it's over the top at all, but I tend to err on the side of over the top when it comes to icons.)
