Where to look
At 10:47 AM the Sun is towards the east, 38° above the horizon. That is high enough to clear most buildings, so an open street, a balcony or a terrace facing that way will do.
What you will notice
With more than 90% of the Sun covered, daylight turns dim and silvery and shadows look unusually sharp, but the sky does not go dark. Keep eclipse glasses on for the whole eclipse.
