Damian McCudden Landscape Photographer captured this photo of today’s partial solar eclipse as seen from Australia. He wrote:

Partial Solar Eclipse at sunset today. I made my way to the farm, went to the old barn but too many trees around so raced back to the windmill and shot it from there. Sucks that there are power lines in the way, but I reckon they add to the shot, and that nice tree next to the windmill adds to the shot, too.

Thanks for looking and hope you like it.

It’s beautiful, Damian! Thank you.
