These are images of the sun taken using a plume of steam from a local refinery as a light filter. The small dark spot towards the bottom of the suns disk is actually a giant sunspot, a magnetic storm FIVE TIMES the diameter of the earth. Sunspot 756, as it is called by astronomers, will be visible for a few more days before the sun's rotation carries it out of view.

Please be don't try to take an image like this unless you know what you are doing, THE SUN CAN BLIND YOU AS WELL AS DAMAGE YOUR EQUIPMENT!
