How's about Alexandra - after the alexander ring (I thing that's the 'diamond ring' flash of sunlight you get then a solar eclipse is just finishing and the shadow begins to move). I am probably wrong, and its probably 'the fishface ring'.

megandraper · 19/06/2012 13:54

:o at Fishface Ring. Now there's a name.
