Thank you for sharing your photos of this marvelous celestial event! It was to be the longest total eclipse of the 21st century and was not visible from my location. I am so happy you posted your images here. Thanks again!

That would be a beautiful picture even without the bite taken out of the sun. Thanks for sharing with those of us not fortunate enough to be able to see the eclipse.

Years ago (decades actually) I viewed a solar eclipse which was total for about half a minute. It was eerie! Moments before, the sky darkened precipitously, the wind began to rush, and birds plummeted into the marsh grass across the water from us. 100s of people viewing near us all began to talk at once.
I have no pics. My friend had been using a tripod to take photos of a projection on to a sheet of paper (pointless, really) and when the thing went total and we could view it safely, he picked the camera up and started snapping shots - without removing the close-up lens.
Thanks for reminding me...

Total eclipses are a great sight to see, the only one i've ever seen was in Turkey (March 29th 2006) at a place called Side (pron: see-day).
I think totality lasted around a few minutes & was quite surreal.
If i remember rightly there is a total eclipse of the Sun next year over Easter Island, now that would be really something to see!!
Photowise a great shot & the other 4 are good too!
