No photos of the eclipse itself -- we were too busy watching! The crowd tended to flow back under the tent during the occasional rain shower, but returned outside as soon as there was any indication that the roiling gray sun shield might thin out.
It did, as described in my last post. Others were equally fortunate! The larger crowd at Carbondale, Illinois, had the same experience of the clouds parting to reveal the black sun.
Next opportunity in the continental USA is April 8, 2024. Carbondale is on the path again, but east-central Texas looks like a better weather bet.
There's another total eclipse spanning Chile and Argentina in 2019, though. I could be convinced.
Until then, the Sun is back, the granaries are full, and God's promise not to drown us all is still shining.
