Eclipse Art: Partial solar eclipse [sunlight filtered through leaves on board]
Photo of an almost vertical white board leaning against a brick wall. The wall is painted with a mural depicting outsized wild flowers on a dark green background. The board is in partial shadow cast by a nearby tree being the photographer. The leaves of the tree create multiple 'pin-holes' that project images of a solar eclipse (circa 90% of total) on to the board as thin overlapping crescents of light
