Kilted to observe total solar eclipse

I would love to see French Polynesia some day.

Great pics and story. Thanks.

A nice shot of the kilt in action (albeit slow motion).

And, a nice photo of the eclipse as well. It reminded me of a show I saw recently about the use of eclipses in the proving of Einstein's theory of relativity (his second I think). At that time, there were astronomers from all over the world who spent years chasing eclipses around the globe trying to gather evidence that would either prove, or disprove, his theory.

And to tie it back in to this site,

the gentleman who provided the final supporting evidence was named William Wallace Campbell !!.

See how I did that??

Whooda thunk we could combine kilts, physics and a tropical paradise all in one thread! Nicely done!
