Details:
A year ago, I was standing in the staircase on the top floor of my appartment buiding talking to a neighbor.
Suddenly he noticed a perfect image of the Sun slowly moving across the wall behind me. It only lasted for a couple of minutes.
The Sun was shining through a keyhole which acted as a lens, just as a gigantic pinhole camera.
Unfortunately I had not taken note neither of the exact date nor the time so it has been a long wait for days in a row thgis spring with my camera ready on a tripod.
I talked to the owner of the appartment beforehand and she kindly agreed to keep the lightpath unobstructed from blinds, curtains, keys etc.
When the Sun finally appeared on the 4th of April, there was not one but two perfect tiny Suns, slowly moving across the opposite wall.
Our buiding is perfectly oriented to the cardinal points so theoretically it could have occured on the spring equinox, but as the windows are slightly offset, we have to wait for 2 more weeks before getting this perfect alignment.
But it still is like having a miniature Stonehenge at home :-)
