Ooops, no, April 1st was just random.

The story is that for this eclipse I set up tripod and camera at night, ready to get some good shots. But then it became all cloudy and you could not see the sky at all.

Well, so I went inside (left the camera outside), opened some wine bottles, and was very frustrated about the lost opportunity. Then, suddenly, quite a while later, the sky suddenly and unexpectedly cleared up again, just in time for the eclipse.

So I stumbled to my camera, not at all sober, and desperately tried to take some pictures ... don't laugh, first I forgot to switch it on, then I forgot to remove the lens hood, I never ever was so confused and unprofessional while trying to take a picture. But eventually I managed to produce a series of images
