A
wonderdul Sunrise Eclipse is what I would call it: An array
of colors, crepuscular
rays, a moth eaten sun and the city proper. A partial
solar eclipse gives such beautiful vistas even in a crowded
city like Mumbai.

The eclipse
was very nice here from Goa. Therotical sunrise was at 6h41,
invisible because of haze,trees and buildings.

Weather forecast
said it would be rainy, but thankfully the sky became partly
clear when the moon passed in front of the sun. My watch
was set to the GMT. |

Wow...what
a sight! there was even a Peacock (India's national bird)
watching the eclipse! As I didn't have any filters, I shot
some of the pics through sunglasses!
