Total Solar Eclipse - 1 August 2008

Finally, the images from the total solar eclipse on August 1st are online.

The climax of our trip to China was the observation of the total solar eclipse in the camp near Jinta, Gansu province. The images are now online in the new album Eclipse 2008.

This image shows the diamond ring just a few seconds before totality. Posted at flickr, it generated a huge interest with more than 5500 views.

China 2008

Images from a short trip to China July/August 2008.

A trip half around the world for the total solar eclipse, the new album China 2008 features a lot of impressions from our travel to Beijing, Dunhuang, Jiayuguan, and Shanghai. (There will be a separate album for the actual eclipse images, see also my images on ipernity and flickr.)
