Partial Solar Eclipse

Partial Solar Eclipse as seen from Fire Island, New York 

On the morning of Sunday, November 3, 2013, the eastern United States was privileged to be in the path of a partial Solar Eclipse at Sunrise. Many had the misfortune of having clouds obscure their viewing of the eclipse, as did I, but there was enough of a break in the clouds for me to capture some awesome images of this rare event from Fire Island, New York!
