But despite that a few friends and I met at the pier to take what photos we could. It’s beautiful no matter the weather… though I would not recommend shooting in low light with a almost flat camera…

A big crowd turned up to watch the spectacle (even though we’d been advised to stay at home!). It was certainly impressive, but over so quickly it was hard…
