A few more impressions from the eclipse chasers at Ramada Plaza Sino-Bay Hotel, Jinshan, China. Not only that we were clouded out during totality, there was also ample supply of drenching rain afterwards. ;-) Thanks to Silvia Otto and Jan Sundström for the images.
[Unfortunately, there’s no higher resolution version of the images.]
Der komplette Reisebericht zur totalen Sonnenfinsternis am 22. Juli 2009 in Jinshan, Shanghai, China ist jetzt als Artikel hier online. Die einzelnen Teile gab es ja bereits in meinem Blog auf ipernity zu lesen.

Added a new Album to the gallery: China 2009 with a selection from this year’s trip to Shanghai, China.
At the end, it didn’t work out. We were only partially sucessful, so to speak. Just a few glimpses of the sun thru the clouds between 1st and 2nd contact, and even heavy rain after 3rd contact. The deep darkness was impressing, nevertheless.
A complete travel report (German only) can be found here..
Last preparations, only a few days to go.
Only a few days left, the next total solar eclipse on July 22nd is just around the corner. We’ll be heading to a location south of Shanghai.
So this is the perfect time to have a look back at the total solar eclipse of August 1st, 2008.
