We were lucky on Friday to witness an annular eclipse of the sun. Evidently, the total eclipse was only viewable within a narrow stretch 190 mi wide. This is a photo taken around 1:10pm through some welding glass. Looking normally you could barely tell an eclipse was happening at all, but the shadows through the trees were all crescent shaped (like a thousand pinhole cameras), which was pretty cool!
