Interesting photos. Thanks for sharing.

I was out on Cleeve Hill (alt. 1083ft.) on Sunday
morning from 8:15 to 12:00 playing golf and wasn't
aware there was going to be a partial eclipse. It was
very cloudy overhead and to the NW but in the distant
SE the sky was clear. About halfway through the round
everybody remarked on the peculiar quality of the light.
Very dark beneath the clouds and unnaturally bright
towards the clearer sky. Glad to know what caused it :-)
