Sun spot
I think this photo is best shot I've seen on the transit of venus.
I must say I was a bit excited by the whole thing. But how do you talk about the rarity of the spectacle in time and space without pulling out all those clichés about how it makes you feel small and makes you ponder your own mortality and blah blah blahdy blah? Because even if I, or other people, think that, who the fuck cares? These moments of revelation only highlight how ignorant we are every other waking moment of our lives. It's like once or twice a year when there's an eclipse or a comet or something landing on Mars, the universe says 'Hello! I actually don't revolve around you, y'know!' And we forget all about it 20 minutes later.
Now, what can I eat?
