It was a fine morning here in Ras Lanuf, Libya, on the Mediterranean coast. The eclipse was at maximum around 10:00 GMT+2 with about 55% magnitude. This filter-in-hand self portrait was the easiest I could do, as the Sun was already 23 degrees high in the sky. Unlike people in Europe, who had their eclipse at sunrise, but also having to cope winter weather and clouds.
There was a partial rainbow over Mediterranean Sea due north, so I also tried to shoot a panorama. When I look back, I see that it could have been a much cloudier day. After the eclipse ended, the clouds over the sea grew bigger comered most of the sky. Still, we did not have a problem of seeing a special minute of the eclipse (like a total eclipse), so it would have turned out fine.
