Venus shines on the sun

For those of us lucky enough to get into the city today the astrological enthusiasts had set up their massive telescopes on the Festival Plaza for the public to view the solar eclipse of Venus transiting across the face of the sun. This is a photo that I took through the lens of one of these giants. Venus of course is the black dot at 7:00. We also had the opportunity to purchase solar eclipse cardboard glasses which meant  I could share this fantastic event with lots of others.
