An Artificial Annular Eclipse
![[941129_13.jpg]](941129_13.jpg)
As it makes its way north and south with the seasons, the sun sets at a slightly different point on the horizon every evening. If you are in the right place at the right time, you can watch the sun set behind a variety of interesting foreground objects. I created this "eclipse" by positioning myself on an office building in El Segundo, California so that the sun would set directly behind a water tower.
