Total Solar Eclipse

Last week on July 22nd at 9:38am I experienced a total solar eclipse! It was my first and maybe my last but it was quite an incredibly feeling. The sky began to become dark around 8:15am and by 9:38am it was completely pitch black. The total eclipse lasted seven minutes where all of Shanghai was in darkness and all the buildings had their lights on. It really was amazing. A picture cannot describe the eclipse as all you will see is a ‘night shot’ scene which could have been shot anywhere. This total eclipse was the longest one that we will experience in the 21st century so I was pretty pleased to have been part of it. :)
