Well, the eclipse of April 8, 2024 is over, for me, at my location. I walked the short distance to a rocking bench on the Circle Trail around half past noon.
When I got to the bench I put on my eclipse viewing glasses to find myself surprised to see the eclipse was underway.
For well over an hour I watched as the moon covered up more and more of the sun. There were odd lighting effects, sort of glowing orangish-red at the sun's edge.
I took photos with the phone, with the photo not showing the eclipse. I then put one of my eclipse viewing glass lenses over the phone's camera lens, thinking that might make the eclipse show up.
It did not work. That is the best result, what you see above.
The eclipse viewer you see here shared the rocking bench with me. Daylight noticeably darkened as more and more of the sun was blocked by the moon. The temperature noticeably dropped. The wind picked up. Birds got noisy.
The moon shadow phenomenon I have seen pictured before, did happen as I walked back to my abode after the total eclipse part of the show was over.
So, in conclusion, I have to say the solar eclipse was more interesting than I thought it would be....
