there was a Solar Eclipse

and it was good.
There was clear sky.
The sun became a crescent.
The sunlight dimmed in a peculiar way.
The air got cooler.

I found a way to take photos of it with my phone.
I watched and waited as the shadow moved.
The sun brightened; the air got warmer again.




Last night, I finished reading the book So You Want to Be a Wizard, in which coincidentally a sun was blackened and restored.

Nice! That's so much more than I got to see in Minneapolis, where we only got 75% eclipse but it was heavily overcast all day.

Our maximum was 76%, about the same. This photo was about 15 minutes after max.
I'm sorry you didn't get to see it.
