Solar Eclipse


This is the solar eclipse that occurred on August 1 2008, seen from Borlänge, Sweden. This shot was taken at 11.33 AM and the maximum eclipse was at 11.39, but at that time the sun was totally covered by clouds.

I think the surrounding clouds made this photo even more interesting, without them the photo would have been pitch black with a moon-shaped sun in the middle.

If your screen in somewhat properly calibrated you should be able to spot the flying bird in the lower right corner!
