Solar Eclipse 2017 - Beginning to End I really had doubts that this one was going to work out! The forecast was calling for a 60% chance of thunderstorms in Lancaster, PA. I had some trouble with thick clouds in the beginning but in the end - it all worked out. Each photo was made with a Canon 70D and a Canon 17-40 mm f/4L lens @ 36 mm. (1/160 sec, ISO 200, Baader Solar Filter, f/7.1)

The Historical Society of the Cocalico is a non-profit organization based in Ephrata, Pennsylvania. The society was founded in 1960 with the aim of preserving and sharing the history of the Cocalico Valley, which encompasses several townships in Lancaster County.

The society operates the Ephrata Cloister, a historic site that was once home to a religious community of German immigrants in the 18th century. The Cloister features several well-preserved buildings, including a meetinghouse, a dormitory, and a print shop.

In addition to the Ephrata Cloister, the Historical Society of the Cocalico maintains a collection of artifacts and documents related to the history of the Cocalico Valley. The collection includes items such as furniture, clothing, tools, and photographs, as well as records from local businesses and organizations.

The society also offers educational programs and events for the community, including lectures, workshops, and tours of historic sites. The Historical Society of the Cocalico is committed to preserving the rich history of the Cocalico Valley and sharing it with future generations.

The Meteor and the Flower Moon LPOD on June 7, 2013 -- lpod.wikispaces.com/June+7%2C+2013 ( <a href="http://lpod.wikispaces.com/June+7,+2013" rel="noreferrer nofollow">lpod.wikispaces.com/June+7,+2013</a> ) A bright meteor along with the full "flower" moon are seen illuminating the Lancaster, PA countryside. The image was made of 415 twenty second exposures (about 2.5 hours). Each image was taken with a Canon T2i (f/5.0 with a Sigma 10-20 mm lens @ 14 mm / ISO 400) and stacked using StarStax. This must have been some meteor! I unfortunately must have been looking away but at least it was captured in the image.
The Fog Bank across the Stream A fog bank is seen engulfing a flowing stream in Lancaster, PA. Two stop (-2, 0, +2) HDR processing was done using Photomatix and light processing in Photoshop Elements. I originally wanted to photograph the thin crescent moon and Venus pairing; however, the clouds and fog had other plans! Despite missing the moon, I really like the way the photo turned out. Venus can be seen to the left of the tree in the middle of the photograph.
