It was touch-and-go there, pretty much all the way. In the days leading up to today, Stefan was obsessively checking the forecasts and the satellite pictures, looking at an enormous thundercloud, at least 1,000km across, which was right in the way and which would make the eclipse a total wash.
But then, yesterday, the cloud broke up, and Moganshan — where we’re staying — was bathed in sunlight. The people operating the resort said that it’s always clear in the mornings, and when we climbed the hill to look east over the plain, we were excited to get a perfect eclipse at 9:33am.
When we woke up, however, it was overcast and drizzling, and by the time we were looking out over the plain, you could barely see it, let alone the sun. We were convinced it was going to be a complete washout, where we wouldn’t see anything but the sky getting dark and then light again.
Happily, we were wrong. Just as the eclipse was approaching totality, the sun started peeking out from between the clouds, and at one point there was an astonishing sight where you could even see what was left of the sun in the middle of a tiny swatch of blue sky, with sunbeams streaming down between almost-black clouds.
And then it arrived: the sun was blacked out, the corona appeared, and the eclipsed sun spent 5 minutes and 47 seconds peeking in and out behind the clouds. It wasn’t dead-of-night dark, but it was definitely late dusk. And decidedly cooler than the normally-sweltering temperatures, too.
We didn’t get the Full Eclipse Experience: the dark-indigo sky, the view of the orange horizon, the vision of the shadow of the moon rushing towards you and then away from you at 3,000 miles per hour. But we got something truly special all the same. It was my first total eclipse, I don’t know if I’ll ever see another. And I’m not in the slightest bit disappointed.
(The photo is by Stefan Geens. That’s exactly what we saw.)
How very exciting! Congratulations, the photo is gorgeous.
Easier said than done.
Amazing. At exactly that time Andy and I were in a tent high in the Peruvian Andes experiencing the most incredible lightning storm, followed by hail and snow.. the first time it had snowed there in many years- pretty exciting weather around the world.

The game with James. The team struggled, he one scored 18 points in the second half, only hold hands warm, turn his teammates to play selflessly gave molina and west last time, and even take seven points win. Although 24 points and six rebounds and five assists from three pairs of data, but also the “little emperors” is like a true leader team.

Having never been one to count pennies or use a piggy bank, I often find myself reviewing my credit card bills only to find out I’ve spent an awful lot of money on seemingly unnecessary expenses like cabs, booze, food, even more booze and, of all things, shoes.
It seems I completely agree with fictional fashion icon Carrie Bradshaw’s view on money. Even more so, her outlook on splurging: “Every once in a while, a girl has to indulge herself.” Unfortunately for my bank account, I tend to indulge in really expensive shoes.
However, while we are both shoe lovers with a penchant for expensive designer footwear, this fashion figure and I differ in at least one respect: Our designer of choice. While Carrie is a major Manolo devotee, I, on the other hand, am a diehard Louboutin lover.

DOES the famously demanding Naomi Campbell do bad weather? Let’s hope so, because 30 minutes before she’s due to step out on to the catwalk, torrential rain is hammering down on the canvas roof of the British Fashion Council’s tent at Somerset House for London Fashion Week.

Inside there’s something of a storm brewing up too. Backstage is frantic as a gaggle of A-listers and supermodels gather in the one cramped space with make-up artists, hairdressers and stylists who’re all helping to put on the ultimate fashion show.

re the total solar eclipse photo: I really hope this was not what you actually “SAW!” If so, may your retinas recover soaking in a St Emilion red. You’re supposed to look st these things over your shoulder, blockhead!
