From Warren's mail:

     The picture was taken by Paul Bannister, a Ph.D student in solar
energy at the Australian National University. I can't remember when the
eclipse was, but it was the annular eclipse in late 1990 or early 1991.
The picture was taken by laying a 4m parabolic solar dish at an angle,
so that each flat mirror element on the dish formed an image of the
partially eclipsed sun on the ground & nearly buildings etc. The original
print is in colour, but I don't have a colour scanner here at work. 

The solar dish collects sunlight, focuses it onto a set of copper tubes 
with water in them, and generates steam, and then passes the steam to an
engine to make electricity.
