We had too many clouds around here, so I didn't notice anything from it, but after reading about it the memories of the '99 total eclipse came up again ... that was great, and I had a good view back then

In my case clouds was a great help.
At first there was too much clouds, can't saw sun.
Some after, there was no clouds on sun, but sun was too bright, so I watched through black filter (tape from old VHS cassette).
Some time after again clouds and no sun.
I went to computer, but friend send me message through IM to look through window.
And I saw this what you can see on photos.
Perfect clouds. I was able to watch sun without any filters (clouds was kinda filter itself), clearly and without pain in eyes.

Photo was only taken with anti-reflection filter.

What eclipse?
I heard nothing about it here in UK, probably it was too far from us to even bother about

Thanks for sharing anyways
