Total solar eclipse in the great wall of China, Aug 1, 2008

It looks like an eye if you look at it, doesn't it?

cool!

Nope, this is total -- the ring visible here is the corona. :)
An annular would be much brighter and wouldn't have that sudden transition at 0:37 / 1:35

It's amazing how bright the sun still is, even when it's nearly all covered up. You can see that the light is dimmer, but it certainly still is daylight. Then, at totality, it's not like nighttime because there is still light off in the distance, beyond the edge of the moon's shadow. it's not exactly like a sunset, either.

Beautiful shot. It seemed like a really hot day. Was it?

its beatiful =) but the end of the world? wtf..idiots if you think so ffs its the moon coming in front of the sun, not end of the world lol..
