Upon hearing from the news the previous day that there will be a partial solar eclipse, I expected for it, and checked the time and the sun every now and then... The eclipse started about 3:30 in the afternoon, and although there was just a small part of the sun covered by the moon at that time, I enjoyed the view as I could see it without obstructions. However, as time ticks by, slowly the sun was hiding at the back of the house fronting ours.
I thought that was the end of my eclipse watching. I tried going out of the house and find spaces between houses if I could see the sun, but I just can't. After an hour, I went to our terrace and spotted the sun - still hiding at the back of our neighbor's house, but I was able to take a peek somewhere. I placed about four sheets of negatives by the lens of my camera and zoomed it in so I can take a photo. The house fronting ours have a balcony on the second floor of their house, if only there were people there, I could just go to their balcony and watch the eclipse, but I wasn't lucky today, so I just have to be contented with this. The clothesline on the balcony was a clutter in the shot, but what can I do, right? At least with this I could say I was able to see the eclipse.

Better shot with the clothesline than nothing at all. That is the longest solar eclipse of this millennium so we will not be seeing one in a thousand years.
