Partial Swedish Solar Eclipse



Yes, we are back home in Evanston...with its usual technological challenges and temptations. And lack of my mother-in-law's handpicked lingonberry jam. And no snow: I am in mourning for that beauty.

So I have finally posted photos to go with my posts from Sweden. Though they were the last two weeks of December, somehow most of them (except for December 19th) posted as December 21st; not a bad day, given it was the Solstice, Full Moon and a Lunar Eclipse. Here you can see an image our friend, Elin Ulman, emailed from the beginning of this first week of the new year. It shows a partial Solar Eclipse on their island a bit North of Stockholm...there are so many islands in the archipelago that many people have homes on them. The Baltic is pretty awesome.

This is a very beautiful image. It gives some sense of the magical quality of light there.
