Pictures to come shortly, I did get some clouds, but they were a blessing; I used their ability to dim the sun to capture some of the best photos I got out of the whole trip. Still about 90 minutes to go in the transit!

The sky was beautiful were I was even with all the clouds but, there were too many tree's, too many buildings, and no one wanted to help me find a good spot to take any shots. I'm a little frustrated that I didn't get any, but I am really looking forward to seeing yours.

Did you miss the Transit? I made sure I didn't - fought clouds the whole way down, and they eventually won. However, this was the result of taking 632 photos. Venus was visible in 51 of them, and 15 of them were dark enough to be worth posting.

2 sunspots are visible in the centre-left and centre-right in these images.

Also, on the exploratorium webcast, we are about to hit 3rd contact!

I've been listening to that exploratorium music in the background for a while now. Love it. Need to download it. No idea what it is though.

Third contact reached. 15 minutes to go to see something you'll never see again!

If you happened to record it you'd have it forever

that was great music though, not going to lie.
In approximately 13 minutes, fourth contact will be reached, and the Transit will have ended. The next one won't appear for another 105 years, so I hope everyone has enjoyed the show.
