joe_schmidt - Apr, 03 2006 04:04pm Nice shot, but not really related to travel these days. (Mabe in some years. ;-) ) Could win a prize on a photographer's site. rangutan - Apr, 03 2006 04:04pm Kanu, like Joe, David once doubted the usefulness of 'sun' pics. The sun & moon are absolutely important for travelling showing us the way, giving us warmth, the moon that too at night and its romance rangutan - Apr, 03 2006 04:04pm Joe, some people spend hundreds to travel there, some even spend thousands to chase the eclipse on specially chartered jets. I will too because iVe seen TWO such TOTAL eclipses and want to again! gloriajames - Apr, 04 2006 05:04am I have always loved to watch an eclipse but in my lifetime i only managed to see one. Must compliment u on this excellent shot! 5* madness - Apr, 04 2006 08:04am This was my second eclipse experience, and the third one will be 54 years later in Turkey. So maybe I can watch at that time maybe standing with a walking stick..:) kanuman - Apr, 04 2006 08:04am well the inspiration for me to travel to turkey was the solar eclipse, i dont know if i would ever have travelled to turkey otherwise.this was my 3rd and waiting for the next one in 2009 in india..!!! st.vincent - Apr, 04 2006 05:04pm An outstanding photo, well captured madness - Apr, 06 2006 04:04pm we have a lot of beautiful and interesting places that will inspire you Kanu, you will be welcome for your second visiting, take care.. leillli - Apr, 20 2006 08:04am wonderfull:)how did you take it!! pottendorfer - Apr, 24 2006 10:04am It look so real that I am worried that I am staring at it with naked eyes :))Beautiful,wonderbar(German). frenchfrog - Apr, 24 2006 11:04am It is just perfect! well done! davidx - Apr, 24 2006 12:04pm Perhaps I might be permitted to speak for myself.

This is a tought shot to get and you waited for just the right moment. Very good. Thanks for sharing. susiq - Jan, 10 2007 11:01am And to think in the ancient past, an eclipse was a really bad omen.... Fantastic shot! krisek - Feb, 13 2008 01:02pm How did you do that? I tried photographing eclipses but could never quite catch the diamond ring. Your picture is perfect! rangutan - Feb, 13 2008 01:02pm Krys, the orbits of the Moon and Earth around the Sun are not perfectly circular but elliptical so the apparent size of the Moon and Sun will vary for every total eclipse giving different effects.
