These were taken at work this morning. Eventually found one of the hotel rooms free that had the best vantage point!
It was quite eerie seeing the remnants of somthing that has just grazed the Sun at full pelt!
Cheers

Great shots Bart. My favorite is #2. I would guess that the location is the Vines?
