Looking down.

Pinhole cameras between leaves cast eclipse images on the deck. The abstract linear forms of the deck and railing contrast with the somewhat chaotic repetition of the partially obscured sun's image. Leaves on the deck echo the pinhole-building leaves above. Feet at the bottom give a sense of place and ground the observer in the moment.
