Have you some photos of this?

TOTAL SOLAR ECLIPSE 🌑

Tarragona, Spain went dark in the middle of the day Wednesday as a total solar eclipse swept through.

At 8:29pm local time, totality hit — the Moon fully blocking the Sun for ~61 seconds.

It's the first total eclipse visible from mainland Europe since 1999; the path crossed the Arctic, Greenland, Iceland, and northern Spain.

That’s a funny story.

I misjudged the location a bit. And the sun started to set behind the hill before the full eclipse. In front of the astonished Spaniards, I climbed a pine tree. Well, there’s no photo from there, I barely had enough arms to hold on.

There are photos from when it was ⅓ eclipse, but surely 100% all across the internets are more spicy.
