Obfuscation
Partial solar eclipse over hills in Marin county.
I was taking photos in another area when a passing hiker asked me, "Did you catch any of it?" When I asked what he meant, he reminded me that there was a solar eclipse that morning. He said it was just visible through the clouds. I thanked him and headed back down the trail. Was the eclipse still happening? How quickly could I find a spot and try to capture it? Somehow, I got a usable shot.
It wasn't this dark, the image is underexposed so we can see the shape of the eclipse.
