Today I captured my very first transit of something a little different. Not a plane or bird but what looks like the number 3. Tomorrow I'll look for a two or four.

It looks like a 3 balloon set.
I have seen many balloons fly around, spaecially on some religious festivities, even many with their strings tied together.
Though I have never imaged such a transit, nice experience.
Best regards and have a nice Sunday.
Eric.

Re: Flying Numeral
I love it!! I too thought of Santa's sleigh then thought it looked more like a flying magic bean, perhaps from Jack and the Giant Beanstalk 
It was certainly high up to be that sharp, birds are always a bit blurred, however it would have to be a very fat and wingless bird that high up
Thanks for making me smile

Re: Flying Numeral
Very large, conjoined space boulders?
There appears to be slow, anticlockwise rotation or tumbling.
Update: My wife thinks the sun is broken.
So "somebody" is mending it with tape from a dispenser.
Excellent images BTW.
