Thank you very much Keith, I also got some pics of this years eclipse as well, never meant to post any of them but someone requested to see the one from 1999.
We have an annual steam fair at Havenstreet steam railway, I used to love going there but it's a been a few years since I've been able to go.

Vibrant colours in this close-up of this steam traction engine.
And that photo you took in 1999 is great. The sun was nothing more than a slender crescent...
