I got to see a near total eclipse back in 1999 while I was deployed in Croatia and Bosnia. It was way cool. I had actually run missions all night long, so set an alarm to wake up to see it. I woke up a tad late, and it was beginning to pass. But the it sure cast an errie shadow over everything. Too cool.
That picture is awesome. Obviously, I couldn't look directly at it, so didn't see that!
