Eclipse forms a perfect diamond ring

What a great picture. What energy! The little picture above doesn't do it any justice. Move the cursor over it and get the big picture. See what I mean? I could sit here all day and stare at it. For more wonderful images in "big pictures", you can pop here if you like :

Also, here's a bit of footage from the recent eclipse, as seen from Varanassi. I get a real good vibe when I think about India. There's something about the energy there. I bet Varanassi was a pretty special place to witness the eclipse (though not so good if you don't like crowds!).
