Kloudy Kansas Solstice Eklipse
I took quite a few photos because "I was there in my back yard".

It looked promising about 8 p.m. but then the high clouds moved in.

So, here is one effort although not at totality. I could not see the moon during totality because of the thin clouds which progressively worsened.

For some reason one cannot take a photo of that which one cannot see...

Nikon D700, 500 mm reflex Nikkor, f/8, 1.3 sec, ISO 3200.

50% crop.

Thanks for sharing! I kept getting out of bed all night and all night the sky was covered with clouds. Ugh!

At least you got something Larry. I would have been happy with that but it was too cloudy here as well.

nice, under the conditions, Larry. I didn't even try as I was to tired.
