Clouds eclipsed the eclipse for some in Virginia on Monday, but in other places the sun shone through just enough to show the moon blocking part of the view. We asked readers to share their eclipse photos. Here are some we received. You can still share yours at news@cardinalnews.org. Please include where the photo was taken, what it shows (if it’s not obvious) and who took the photo.
