Those friends I referred to earlier said where they were at, there were some divers coming down during totality.  I can't imagine.  I didn't even take pictures during totality because I didn't want to be distracted by anything else.

I just got back from seeing it. My plans went off without a hitch.

It was truly awesome! A partial eclipse simply doesn't compare to a total eclipse!

Woot!

No wonder ancient people started beating drums and shit.

The total would have been awesome!  I just assumed that whereever I went would have been cloudy, LOL!

I went to an eclipse in 1979, up in Washington state. Got clouded out - but it did get dark, at least. This one I'll just get the partial, and be happy with it.

I read a joke before the eclipse.  Said if you weren't sure your eclipse glasses were safe, try them at night first.  At least I HOPE that was a joke...

Of course that is just light bent over the gravity well now...

This was, alas, the best image I could get as the sun re-emerged from THAT STUPID FUCKING CLOUD.



I still need to go through my other camera, but I don't think I've done much better than this.  Which was not what I wanted to see.

Mine were like this...

In 2015 there was an eclipse here in Faroe Islands, but it was cloudy where I was. Got slightly dark for 5 minutes (similar to dusk/dawn) and bright again. Back then people also talked about Jesus coming back and end of the world and whatnot.

The superstitious WILL be that way...
