Yes. My only memory a solar eclipse is from Senegal in 1966. I was
disappointed that even though the eclipse was something like 70% one could
barely detect that the light was much dimmer than normal -- nothing more
than a passing cloud would do. On the other hand, looking down into the
sand, you could see through the shadows cast by the tree leaves that every
spot of light had turned into a crescent.

It was amazing! We could *really* see these strange
shapes on the shadows of trees and even on the shadows
of our fingers.
