Teddy Bear - Sun in WL, 14th June, 2014

[Luke]

Earlier today, on Father's Day, I had just finished processing the false colour version of this mono capture of the Sun that I grabbed last evening in a rush. I said out loud I wonder what to call this picture. My four-year-old son said he wanted to call it "Teddy Bear." So here is the Teddy Bear Sun

As it turns out, I think it's a much better name than any of mine: When I asked him why he wants to call it "Teddy Bear," he said it's because the Sun is lovely, like a Teddy Bear :laugh:

I got some ace pressies for Father's Day. As well as beer (surprised they sold it to him!) and Jaffa cakes, I got a lovely book on the Sun: "Observing the Sun - A Pocket Field Guide," by Jamey L. Jenkins. I'm only up to about page 20, it looks a very good book and there are some great piccies from Alexandra in it
