2002 Sunset Eclipse from the Outback

In December 2002, we toured Australia and viewed a unique sunset Total Solar Eclipse.  We were at the end of the eclipse path in the Outback.  This picture was taken with a 20mm wide angle lens and show the Moon’s shadow racing towards us.  Shortly afterwards the partially eclipsed Sun set on the horizon.
