The Dutch monthly Kijk had a story about the eclipse
with this picture. The shadow of the moon is covering the landscape and in the sky
you only can see the corona of the sun. At the horizon an orange glow. (Picture Carl Koppeschaar)
Dutch Courage's Last Spectacular
Natural Phenomena of the Millennium
The Solar System Simulator of NASA is a spectacular program. You can give two objects in our solar system - Sun, Moon, planets and their satellites - and they give you the view from the one to the other object. When I discovered it on the Web I gave the data of Sun and Moon and August 11, 10.30 UT and they produced these realistic images….
Canada
St. Johns in Newfoundland is the foggiest (124 days), wettest (1514 mm), windiest
(24.3 km/h average) and cloudiest (1497 hours of sunshine) town in Canada. Nevertheless
the radio station OZ FM has a webcam
there. Without fog, rain and clouds you might seen here August 11 at 09.36 UT (07.06 St. Johns Time) the partial eclips of the sun. (See: Webcam)
Many people hope to catch the eclipse in their webcam. One of the best webcam sites is 'Total eclipse of the sun' of Otto Staiger, in Geneva, Switzerland. He has a lot of information about the event, but also about on other eclipses and astronomical phenomena. He will be August 11 in Stuttgart, Germany, to catch the total eclipse in this webcam.

If there is no fog or clouds or rain than St. Johns in Canada is the first place to see the (partial) eclipse. Anyway it will become very dark there.
A street somewhere in Cornwall. Can't discover where. Didn't find the original website (if you know, please mail me!), but it is on an UK Eclipse page, so probably they want (not) to see the sun.
Wolfgang Familiename(?) from Karlsruhe, Germany, has promised to give Live pictures on this webcam from 11.00 to 15.00 hours.
Every day Otto Staiger from Geneva has beautiful pictures of Sun, Moon or landscape. He will be in Stuttgart to catch the eclipse
Palm Beach Community College from Florida, USA, has its 2nd Solar Expedition (first was to Curaçao, 1998) and wants to catch the eclips at Lake Balaton in Hungary.
