We watched the eclipse — it was surprising how much energy the sun puts off when the moon is mostly covering it!
But we had the totality for just under four minutes, and it was dark … and “sunrise” was everywhere.
The initial forecasts this morning called for clouds and thunderstorms during the eclipse, but the clouds moved off in time and we had great visibility. Glad I picked up some of the solar filter lens things – people I knew who were using their cell phones were disappointed. Don’t know if my phone camera is particularly good or particularly bad, but I was able to catch the moon’s shadow as it moved across the sun. Kind of cool, but it is nothing compared to the guy who got the ISS in front of the sun.

And I managed to get a few shots of the moon shadowing the sun
