Now I'm wondering how that works?
The leaves work as a filter, the same way as those boxes with the hole in it.

I actually noticed the crescents that the tree shadows had while walking home from the soup kitchen yesterday!
Didn't realize that occurred, so it was a happenchance thing for me to notice too.

  My part of the country was supposed to get 64% ... whatever, loss of light I guess.  Couldn't see it.
   It looked like an ordinary, hazy, slightly overcast day to me.  I was disappointed.  Can I sue?  :P

Awesome, a camera obscura effect like that.
