Very unique and well captured especially with all of the negative conditions surrounding you. The sun setting into the unevenness of the clouds and an eclipse makes this a special photo. thanks for sharing. Bob

I first saw this on SpaceWeather.com -- News and information about meteor showers, solar flares, auroras, and near-Earth asteroids then clicked over here and saw it was a PF user. Great capture.

Good job on making the front page of Spaceweather. I'm looking forward to photographing the partial solar eclipse on May 20.
