Total Solar Eclipse - April 8, 2024 The sun is reemerging from behind the moon. I again added the filters to the camera. This and the other pics were taken in Urbana, Ohio, at Freshwater Farms.

Total Solar Eclipse - April 8, 2024 Totality! Only the sun's corona is visible. Down here on the ground it appears like nighttime, and the temperature has cooled. One of us even put on a sweater due to the chill! This and the other pics were taken in Urbana, Ohio, at Freshwater Farms. It's a fish hatchery - but they also hosted an eclipse festival! #TotalEclipse2024
Total Solar Eclipse - April 8, 2024 Totality! Only the sun's corona is visible. At the bottom, slightly left, a prominence from the sun can be seen (purple blur). This is an area of ionized gas projecting from the sun's surface. Down here on the ground it appears like nighttime, and the temperature has cooled. One of us even put on a sweater due to the chill! #TotalEclipse2024
Total Solar Eclipse - April 8, 2024 This pic was taken with a 300mm telephoto lens with three stacked ND filters. The three filters reduced light by 1/4, 1/8, and 1/16 respectively, for a total of 1/512 light transmittance (0.195% of actual light enters the lens). Even with these filters, the photo is over-exposed. The light entering is so strong it bounces inside the lens and produces artifacts - i.e. shadow images of the actual image. #TotalEclipse2024

Campbell Hill From the onsite historical marker: "CAMPBELL HILL The Highest Point in Ohio. Campbell Hill is named for Charles D. Campbell of Bellefontaine, who owned this land from 1896 to 1937. A marble stone marker atop the hill set in 1900 by the U.S. Coast and Geodetic Survey marks it as the highest point in Ohio at an elevation of 1549.09 feet. In 1951, the federal government established the 664th Aircraft Control and Warning (AC&W) Squadron here as part of the North American Air Defense Command (NORAD). Its military and civilian operators used sophisticated radar and computer equipment to locate and identify aircraft as friendly or suspicious, and relayed information to a central site in Battle Creek, Michigan. This Cold War site operated until 1969. It was converted to civilian use as a vocational education center in 1974."

North Lewisburg Covered Bridge From the Visit Union County Ohio website: "This new bridge has a modified Pratt truss with substructures built out of the creek at a cost of $1.6 million. This is the original site of the Pottersburg Bridge. When the one lane Pottersburg Bridge could no longer handle the growing volume of traffic, it was decided to move the Pottersburg Bridge to a nearby multi-purpose trail. Once the original bridge was safely moved, it was promptly replaced with this modern covered bridge." Year of Construction: 2006.
