Things went momentarily dark for last week's Sunday Snap of the solar eclipse. It was the last total solar eclipse that will be visible in the UK until 2090. The next European total solar eclipse will be in 2026. I have on good authority that the best places to experience it are Iceland and northern Spain. However the next total solar is actually in
2016
Yes, just next year on 9th
March but to see it you will need to travel to Sumatra,
Borneo or Sulawesi. Anyone fancy a Pacific adventure?
For
this week I've dug into the pre-digital SLR archives. We visited this
waterfall whilst on an Easter trip that took us over to the Lake
District, up to Glasgow and then back down through Tyneside. It was
while we were in Cumbria that we stopped off at this National Trust
estate. The drop at this part of the waterfall is around 20m. The
poet William Wordsworth was so inspired by this waterfall that he
mentions in three of his poems including The
Somnambulist.
So this week's question is
What is the name
of this waterfall?
Last
week we had a lovely selection of photographs being linked up. Emma
has been to see the sharks at the National Sea Life Centre in
Birmingham (I love sharks by the way!). We were must definitely not
home alone with Merlinda!
There was trip to the seaside at South Shields and Herd Groyne
lighthouse for Karen.
It was over to New Zealand next for a visit to the Great Manawatu Steam Fair. And finally I challenge you to find a more
atmospheric shot of the solar eclipse than Leyla's.

I'll
share my favourites with you next week and remember I do like a bit
of a tale to go with a photo but it's not a necessity!
I have no idea what the name is but it is certainly photo-worthy!
