Really nice shots... I've never seen anything like this in reality. If you hadn't told us that the last one was a PS "fake" you'd have had me well fooled.

that was only visible in austrailia, or africa or somewhere over there, correct?

Thank you, Glenn and YZdirtrider13.
YZdirtrider13, the pictures were taken in Side, Turkey.

Brilliant shots sod1. I love the combination ones especially. We visited Cornwall in the UK a few years ago when there was a very rare total eclipse here but typical of UK weather it was a bit cloudy so couldn't get anything like the shots you did. It was a pretty magical experience though - thanks for bringing back the memories.

Thank you, Phill.
