Shafts of light shine through holes in the roof of the covered market. These circles of light, actually camera obscura images of the sun, fit into an ongiong highly personal fantasy so obscure it seems like a lot of trouble to share it with you, but whenever we are under a holey awning we wonder what it would look like during the partial phases of an eclipse -- they turn into crescents, you know. In this case, we wondered if Venus would be visible as a dot in these projections during the transit a few weeks later. I expect the image of Venus was too small too see.
