Solar Eclipse July 2009 - The Day The Sun Played Truant and the sky, Spoil-Sport

Event: Total Solar Eclipse in some parts of India - July 2009

We flocked to the beaches to watch the partial eclipse and to see how people responded to it. There were crowds on every beach and many of them were very eager to show that they did not believe in false fears related to eclipses that seem to pass down generations. It was remarkable that some pregnant women turned up at thsi even to show the world that they did not believe that watching the eclipse (with adequate protection for the eyes, of course) would not harm their foetuses.
The actual photos of the eclipse being viewed are not here. These are before the clouds cleared away.
