Partial Solar Eclipse Between Seattle Clouds

We were fortunate today in West Seattle we got to enjoy a partial solar eclipse despite some dicey weather swirling all around us. I rigged up my camera, got out some glasses from previous solar eclipses I watched in 2000 and 2002, and snapped away. I'm totally looking forward to the total eclipse here in Aug. of 2017!

Clouds all around but clear skies in West Seattle

Notice the rain-shrouded city of Seattle in the background -- amazing contrast in weather!

Check on the shape of that iPhone camera lens flare -- it's the eclipse!
