Camera Obscura-(pinhole camera)-Effect
When the sun shines through dense foliage of a tree, you see little round spots of light. These are not the "holes in the foliage" but pinhole-projections of the sun. Proof of this theory is given during the eclipse: now the light spots are not round but sickle-shaped like the partially eclipsed sun.
