Caught Special - 13

Here is a Caught Special series of special Sun Pictures (no, I mean... Photographs of the Sun) from my collection for you. 

Each one of them were taken at different places across the globe (yes... really... there's one from KL and one from Japan!). Two or three different cameras were used as you can see in the details. The pictures span a wide period from the year 2005 up to, just 2 weeks ago, this year 2011.  

There are almost 43 pictures in this posting. Some of them look really stunning to me, frankly speaking. I do not know how you feel. Please take a look at these, and post your comments. May be I will post a part-2 series sometime in the future. Click here to see all pictures.

To browse, note that you can also click on one of the pictures and it will launch the Lightbox image-viewer feature that I have enabled. It allows you to quickly see all images in a film-strip fashion, and then, remember, you must press Escape key to come back to this page; if you click the x (close) button of your browser page / tab you will be out of this blog.

Wish you all a very happy, healthy, wealthy, sunny, shiny, prosperous and peaceful new year 2012 and beyond.
