        Try this:

        Go into the picute and choose one of the sizes, then right click on that image and choose open image in new tab... this gives you the direct address to the image you want, without the other crud.

      That is a really unusual effect, and rather hard to understand.  I would not have expected the image of the sun to be multiplied like that.

        Several years ago.........

        We had the pleasure of witnessing an eclipse on the pavement through the leaves of a small (20ft) locust tree.

        Hundreds of mini eclipses.

        Imagine the pinhole through the box viewing method and then multiply that by all those leaves.

          My eclipse

          wasn't viewed through leaves, altho some friends of mine here got some shots that way. I arrived at Shibuya just around 7:10 AM, and it was already becoming dark and cool, and lots of people had stopped on the pedestrian overpass to view the sun:

          I took my pics mostly from 7:30 to 7:35 on my walk to work, when the sun was approaching or in totality:
