#FotoVorschlag 'Hitze'
I usually avoid hikes in the heat, but younger me wasn't so wise.
In 2011 I went up Mt Yishay from Ein Gedi on the Dead Sea. We walked it in reverse, so we only saw the sign when coming down. It was exceptionally hot, even for the region, and there was no water, no shrub and no tree for most of the hike. I had to hide in the shade of a rock crevice for 20min to not pass out 🙈
Also one of my only hikes from negative elevation (-380m − 160m and back).
A girl from the Netherlands who we met on the way insisted on joining us, although she was just wearing a bikini and flip-flops. I thought it was a little stupid, but in the end she did a lot better than me. Another lesson learned 😅

Found a fairly nice spot. Street bench where the sun was doing down between the buildings.
Didn't really get noticeably dark but saw the crescent shadows between the tree leaves and my eyes though the filters saw the moon block the sun better than the camera managed to see.
Here's my pathetic contribution to what I assume is the most photographed English Eclipse until the next one probably years away.
Many people on the street with no glasses or filters. Loaned mine out a fair bit. Don't think I have blinded anyone.
