As promised in the previous post, here is my Total Solar Eclipse photo gallery featuring the best photos I could find online.
I wish even just one of these photos was mine. But I could not travel for the event, and the UK was not blessed with the spectacle (it was also raining yesterday). I did capture the Super Blood Wolf Moon eclipse though: it's here.
The Gallery
The cover image is by Henry Romero from the Reuters agency. Of course, credit to the original source is added in the caption of all photos. (removed, see below)
UPDATE: Having received a note from Getty Images about a photo that was apparently licenced by them to New Scientist, I have decided to take down the gallery and only post links to the pages that host them. I apologise for the inconvenience, but as a photographer myself, I'm conscious of licensing issues and happy to abide by any policy I am made aware of.

I'm sure there are plenty more, but these are my favourites so far.
Personally, I'm already getting ready for the next one. I'm just not going to wait 127 years to see it in London.
If you, too, have been inspired by these photos, I'm sure I will see you there!
