Solar Eclipse over North Cumbria. England. (1).
Well much as expected the weather had the last laugh for us.
From broken cloud at 08.30 and sunny spells as the eclipse got closer the temperature plummeted and sea mist rolled in off the Solway Firth. This shot was taken at 09.19 and 14mins before the 93% coverage of the sun scheduled for 09.33 at this latitude. The mist and cloud then got so thick the eclipse became totally obscured and it just got cold and dark for a few minutes.
