Shadows

Have you ever noticed that the sun light spots that dapple a shadow cast by a tree are round?

Do you know why?

The answer is that the spaces between the leaves act the same way a pin hole camera does, and what you are seeing on the ground is the  image of the sun, many times over.  If you look at the same shadow during an eclipse, each round circle of light will show the eclipse of the sun.
