“Totality From Above the Clouds”. A fantastic view of one of nature's greatist spectacles, a total solar eclipse, taken from an airplane, 3200m above Turkana Kenya. The photographer was due to shoot this rare occurrence from the eastern shore of Lake Turkan but a huge sand-storm hit the region forty minites befor totality. However, the pilot of the place decided to fly the place to intercept the eclipse, and Belda was lucky enough to capture the phenomenon, which laster a mere ten seconds ,through the open dorr of the small airplane.
