What started off as a cloudy night turned into a wonderful spectacle: 15 minutes before totality, the last clouds disappeared while the moon turned red.

For the previous solar eclipse we drove to Luxemburg, only to find out it was clouded. This morning the weather was perfect, so that I could catch the eclipse at dawn (5:45 am). There should be more reasons to go out at that time, the silence is quite breathtaking. Next up: October 3, 2005.

Back in the year 2000, I ran a picture of the day thing here on knaap.com. I did it mainly because we just bought our first digital camera, and digital pictures were suddenly plentiful. I came across a small piece of the POD-archive today, which, for history's sake, I have put back up. I'll try to find the rest as well.

Riding up in the ski-lift, while tons of snow were dumped on my frozen jacket, I had the opportunity to study this particular variety of frozen water. Amazing, the things that fall out of the sky. Note to self: must find out more about the way that snow crystals form.
