I was sitting at my desk when I noticed the scene out the window below.
The sun was setting behind the trees and the leaves were acting like pinhole 'lenses' projecting the sunlight. And the screen then acted as a 2D diffraction grating, making the starburst pattern (bigafy to see).
Still sitting at my desk I zoomed in to take this, and the first, images. You can read about the physics behind it here and here. Or you can just enjoy the pictures.
