Venus envy

A lovely, sunny day inspired me to head back out to Glenelg and spend the day by the beach.

As the tram pulled up, i noticed a bit of a gathering on the grass over by the town hall.

Being of a curious nature, I wandered over and lo and behold saw a sign :o).

Supplying technical information, a telescope and the board to view the eclipse on was a local enthusiast. Apparently this happens about every 80 years or so, so I joined the other spectators
milling around and waited for the big event.

So here it is: Venus in transit.

Small, but perfectly formed :oP (Venus is the blob at the top left by the way)

Don't say I never show you anything educational!
