Solar Eclipse 2024 - 22 degree halo 8 minutes before totality a <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/22%c2%b0_halo" rel="noreferrer nofollow">22° halo</a> formed around the sun and moon. This is caused by refraction of light by hexagonal ice crystals in the high clouds. Note that the sun was already more than 90% covered by the moon, though you could not tell from this photo as it was taken with a cell phone without filters.
St. Albans Bay under the total solar eclipse of April 8, 2024 No photo can provide the same experience as what was perceived a the time by the human brain. This one is not too good a match with what I remember. However it still shows that the horizon is illuminated like a sunset, except it is yellow all around (as there is no sun setting at any point in the horizon). I had to adjust the color temperature of this photo to approximately match the colors that I remember sensing at the time.

homemade cheese Ricky made a hand-washed Trappist-style cheese. It was funky and delicious.
Eclipse 2024 We were in Swanton -- which was just about dead center of the path of totality. That said: there just wasn't a chance that my phone's camera was going to do it justice.
