I couldn't resist pulling out the camera for the opportunity to shoot a total solar eclipse. The weather and the universe didn't disappoint. What an amazing experience to witness a total solar eclipse! If you have the opportunity to see a total eclipse rather than a partial one you really need to do all you can do to give yourself that chance. I was blown away. The experience hits upon so many of your senses in such a way that it all comes together to fill you with wonder. The temperature dropped while getting darker as more of the sun was obscured. When the sun disappeared the crickets and frogs started chirping and of course you witness this ring of fire in the sky. On top of that some stars were visible and there was this orange/red colour around the entire horizon much like that of a sunrise or sunset. I was lucky enough to witness this with Alisa and all of the kids who were all also blown away by the magnitude of what we'd witnessed. The first question, "when is the next one because we need to see that again"? I sure do look forward to seeing this again!
