Eclipse-Bloomington-2024 First Christian Church (Eliel Saarinen)

Total solar eclipse flare on my lens Here’s my take of the Great American Solar Eclipse of 2024. I was there at singer John Mellencamp's hometown in Southern Indiana.

Were you at the Great American Solar Eclipse of ‘24? Where were you during the Great American Solar Eclipse of 2024? Here's my proof that I was there.

Astrophotographers call this image &quot;the diamond ring.&quot; Key in the opening music of Thus Spoke Zarathustra: &quot;dum, Dum, Dummm, DA DUM!&quot;

I got it!

I think photographing &quot;the diamond ring&quot;—which appears at just the moment after the total solar eclipse when the sun creeps its toe out; its corona appears in all its crown glory; solar prominences can be seen shooting out their red plumes, and my camera’s solar lens filter has been temporarily removed because the brilliant sun is covered by the moon–is my gate pass into the international astrophotographer's club, or something like that.

You know I can see you, right? There is no problem making out your shape, especially when you alert me to your whereabouts by chirping.

Utah has its Delicate Arch in the desert while Indiana has its robust arch in the city. Man-made.

Those are not Chinese characters that are written on the bottom of that cuboid bell and clock tower of the First Christian Church. No. Those are the bright winter sun's reflections of church windows that somehow make each identical window pane look different.
