Description

Taken with a hand-held point-n-shoot camera.

Everyone on Clifton Beach, Queensland, let a simultaneous groan as the clouds came back to obscure the solar eclipse. But the clouds did save us from that instant at third contact when the first bead of direct sunlight shoots through a crater on the Moon and would enter our poor dilated eyes. I remember that from my first total solar eclipse, 2002-12-04 in the Australian outback, when everyone let out a simultaneous scream of "I'm blinded".
