It's Total Eclipse Day here in Spain, and I have my glasses ready 😎 The last eclipse I could have seen (back in '99) totally passed me by for some reason, so I've been excitedly awaiting this day for years.

I'm EXTREMELY fortunate to live not only in the path of totality (Valencia) but to also have a west-facing balcony. Totality will be roughly half an hour before sunset at 4º above the horizon - so just above the yellow crane in the 2nd picture. Fingers crossed that no clouds obscure the view! 🤞🏻🤞🏻

BTW - not that I wish to give away TOO much information about my location - for the transport infrastructure-curious among you, that's our local high-speed rail station in the middle foreground undergoing an extension in the photo. 🚄 🏗️

Here we go here we go here we gooooo (apols for the crappy iPhone pic)
