Eclipse

Pleiades...

Evening skies polarized
Early end to the light
Eyes spy orb above crags
Eager pinhole cam shows
Essence, inverted page
Eureka! Welding specs!
Everyone have a look!

- I think it's a nice thing to do, to congratulate all one by one - in the contest I participate in - As a little "thank you for the match" regards ..... - Some I have read before and others not - It will always take some time, a long list of winners - But for me it is common courtesy and a pleasure to congratulate you Tom - Should be higher on the winning list - hugs // Anne-Lise :)

Not yet. I saw someone else's "E" pleiades and assumed we were.
