http://epod.usra.edu/ has 9 pages of search results for analemma in their own archives! They LOVE those things . The one shown here appears to have a single extremely exceptional detail--on the left, just near where the crossover that makes it a "figure 8" shape, appears to be a solar eclipse.

The kind of full-year-to-set-up photo that blows me away most is one I've seen just 2 or 3 times on EPoD...someone takes a photo from the same angle at the same time every day, and at the end of the year they process it so a single vertical line of pixels from each frame (hence the need for extreme camera-location stability) is used to assemble a full-year landscape. I wish I could remember the name of the technique...
