Light, shadow, and moving image - a solar eclipse is the essence of cinema.
Here in the Bay Area it was an annular eclipse, leaving just a crescent-shaped sliver of sun visible, so that shape became the theme of this primitive cinema. Look at the countless crescents formed by the shadow of a tree. This is the original non-narrative moving image.

aw cool
Did you see it?
I like how the shadows look like a crazy, ominous smoke formation.
There are a few photos other people have published on the internet, I definitely recommend searching them out.
I didn't get to see it ! But I will keep an eye out for pictures.
