Total Solar Eclipse China Wuhan 2009

The solar eclipse occured on 22nd of July 2009 in China. I observed the eclipse from Wuhan, China directly at the Jangze river at Hankou Beach. The eclipse was disappointing. We had clouds throughout the eclipse. The totality was completely clouded out and not visible. I took over 2000 images. Here are some of these images.
