Partial solar eclipse. The shot was taken at Kalivia, Attiki. The weather forecast for the eclipse day was quite discouraging. Even though, I decided to give it a try. I was lucky enough to capture this photo few minutes after the maximum eclipse. I was even luckier to capture a number of seabirds flying in front of the Sun's disk few minutes before and few minutes after the end of the eclipse!
