Fortuitous shot of the eclipse

[Philmar]

Here in Toronto we were cursed with heavily overcast skies giving us only a 20 minute window where the sun was visible through the cloud. he experience of darkness was amazing but I didn't feel I had taken any great shots of the only partial eclipse that was viewable....until i got home and reviewed the photos in Lightroom. That's when I saw that I had captured a plane passing through the frame. Pure dumb luck.
