A Cosmic Wonder today

Over the years I've been trying to see a solar eclipse. You see those videos of everyone in the Northern Hemisphere getting the best views. For a change at last I finally got to see one. Despite the cloud I did managed to get some great photos of the moon moving across the sun.Despite the limitations of my small 12 megapixel Nikon I set it onto sunset mode whacked up the zoom, and got the above shots. Not bad. One day I'll get one of those huge fancy cameras with 25 plus megapixels and a huge telephoto lens. By then I'll be way to ancient to be running outside every half hour just to photograph an eclipse.
