Solar eclipse in your country?

Here (France, 250 km south-east of Paris) the Eclipse was 72%. The decrease of daylight was just mild.

 

The Sun at 10h30 (maximum eclipse time) was high in the sky, but the daylight was as in 08/09 AM. Not very intense.

perfectly clear sky here, but to be honest i found the last partial eclipse more spectacular when the sun fromed a nice crescent visible with the naked eye right after sunrise. that was a special scene.

as it was just one hour from noon now (10:42 here), you couldn't see anything (except the decreased daylight) without special glasses.

I'm maybe 15 miles from the northern edge of the swath where it's complete. A map I saw gave the duration at about 30 seconds at that edge, and I'm maybe 50 miles from a 2 minute duration. It's overcast here anyway. Not unlike Rotwang's.

^^ exactly this for me too ... dear sir from the same town :P

 

I caught a glimpse through the special glasses though and what I saw looked nice ... but other than that, not so special
