Usually photos of eclipses show closeups of the sun. This one shows the context--the dark shadow sweeping across the sky at the moment the eclipse begins. In the distance are clouds that the shadow has not yet reached. This is an old photo, but not one that can be gotten every day! The location is south central Washington state.
Unlike the previous post, I do find this to be fascinating. Witnessing a total solar eclipse is high on my list of things to do in my life... Thanks for sharing Ken.

Unusual, you said, Ken ? Mmm... Not really imo. But let me put in a very short form: there's alost nothing to see here... Sorry, but I don't find it very interesting. regards.
