We were lucky in that we could see it from our place - unlucky in that for the main show we had cloud cover. So we missed totality, which was a shame. Still, I managed to get some piccies of the initial and after stages, which made climbing onto the roof worthwhile.
Cloud cover beforehand:
Shadow cast over the mountains:
Just the start:
Edging towards 2nd contact:
Beginning of totality - was yelling at the clouds by now:
Just after 3rd contact:
So there you go - that was the view from our roof at 6:38am today. Still pretty happy that we saw what we saw. Considering it's bucketing down outside at the moment, I think we were lucky to get the show that we did. Certainly an eerie experience. Friends of ours have some photos of the total eclipse, I'll see if I can get a copy to post up.
Cheers,
Matto
