Total Eclipse at Erieau, Ontario - a photo on Flickriver

            Explored on April 9, 2024, at #443.

We had to drive south toward Lake Erie to reach the path of totality. We intended to go to Long Point, but checking the weather this morning we decided to head further west for a better chance of no clouds. We ended up at Erieau, a 2 hour, 15 minute drive from home. Thin gauzy clouds did not block the spectacle, and maybe added to the eerie atmosphere.

When the darkness came over us, I wowed and whooped. Totality lasted about 2 minutes there. It was exciting to watch the sun, but I was glad I'd heard about other effects and took time to to photograph the surroundings. I like this better than my telephoto pics of the sun. 

Totality had nearly ended, the shadow of the moon had nearly passed over, and weird dawn light approached from the west. I got an email address from the couple sitting near us so I could send them this photo.

Thank you to everyone who visits, faves, and comments.
