Explanation:
During July 22nd's
solar eclipse, the Moon's dark shadow traced
a narrow path as it raced eastward
across India and China and on
into the Pacific.
Hong Kong was south of the shadow's path, so a total
eclipse was not visible there, but a partial eclipse was
still enjoyed by inhabitants of
the populous city.
And while many were (safely!)
watching
the sky, images of the partially eclipsed Sun
adorned the city itself.
In this downlooking photo, taken at 9:40am local time,
a remarkable array of solar eclipse views was created
by reflection in a grid of eastward facing skyscraper windows.
The photographer's location was the 27th floor of
Two Pacific Place.
