Wish I could have been there to see it.
Seeing an eclipse can change how you see the world.
My husband and I saw the one that passed over the US in 2017 from the John C. Campbell Folk School in Brasstown, North Carolina. We didn't get any photos as spectacular as the one in the OP but I got this one:
My husband and I went up to Madras, Oregon, which was on the center of totality line. I got this photo!
I'd forgotten all about trying for the diamond ring effect, and I still got it! Of course, I was shooting every second!
Your shot is crisper than mine - I've since upgraded my camera to be ready for our trip to the UK - which begins in less than two weeks.
My husband set up our video camera, but he didn't do it as wide angle or shooting towards the sun like I wanted him to. We did get a nice video of the shadow on the clouds moving towards us, and the darkness during the full eclipse. I took the middle 8 minutes and compressed it to 30 secs, then added music: http://www.woodswell.com/family/Family_Photo_Albums/2017%20Solar%20Eclipse/index.html#201708271534_audio.mp4
One of the coolest effects was the shadows of the partial eclipse through a collander or through the leaves of the trees:

I will listen to your music a bit later, since right now I have Gershwin on the computer!
