Eclipse 2012 seen from Tokyo

The full eclipse of 2012, in Tokyo.

The Solar eclipse of May 20, 2012, is a very rare event. That’s why this morning we had to jump out of bed real fast to get a few shots of the eclipse from the Midtown Park in Tokyo. Here are 8 minutes of the “Ring Of Fire” in 8 photos.
