This partial solar eclipse today was most prominent across parts of Siberia, the Arctic Ocean, and Scandanavia, but I caught the outer edge of it here in Fairbanks, Alaska. I went out to a quiet spot next to the Tanana River behind the airport, and shot this composite photo of several short exposures of the sun during the eclipse, and one longer exposure at the end, capturing the thin clouds that crept into the frame.
This is the Tanana River in Nenana, Alaska. It's one of the Yukon's largest tributaries. I can break my usual "no naming rivers" policy for this picture because there's no fishing (except with bait for burbot) in the Tanana -- it runs with incredibly turbid glacial melt-water in which game fishing is pretty much impossible. You literally can't see an INCH into it, probably not even half an inch.
