At the time I worked in an office building on the 4th floor and was able to see the sun slowly being eroded away. At the penultimate moment there was a mass exodus from the office block to experience the weird darkness.CherryPiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11788084724907992076noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-776872662073607566.post-10219494624294193402017-08-23T12:03:08.361+10:002017-08-23T12:03:08.361+10:00The picture you draw with your words is beautiful ...The picture you draw with your words is beautiful too, Joy.

Here in the middle of America, all we ...GREAT PICS! Here in the middle of America, all we had to do was go 50 miles South, to be a witness of the FULL eclipse.<br /><br />Desoto, Mo. Population: around 6,000, was ground zero, right on the line. <br /><br />I must say, the small town was NOT crowded, and God found my husband and I a wonderfully nice steal bench. In perfect comfort right in the middle of Main Street. IT was hot, but we sat and watch the moon swallow up the sun, ever so slowly, and as an even bigger treat, my son called on his cell phone and said, "We're coming!" So to experience it with my son was an even bigger gift I did not expect.<br /><br />Of course, I had to swear not to go "OOOOOO" too loudly. But, nobody actually said much, believe it or not. <br /><br />When I was a single parent, my son and I would often climb onto the roof of the house to count the comet showers. But those were numerous, and yearly. <br /><br />I did not ever imagine how really beautiful it was to watch the dark moon center in front of the sun, you can see it in pictures, but it's simply not the same....<br /><br />The street lamps came on, the stars in the sky come out, night came in a second, and the world listened in silence.<br /><br />Really, if you can EVER see one, it's worth it. I'm still feeling lucky to have even been there, and thanks to my husband who was pretty sick with a cold and didn't feel like going. <br /><br />Thanks amfortas...beautiful pictures. <br /><br />Joyanna Adamshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09022119420387959009noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-776872662073607566.post-71217298677253245342017-08-23T03:17:15.646+10:002017-08-23T03:17:15.646+10:00You can share in the spectacle here.You can share in the spectacle here.Amfortashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07474382097575605017noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-776872662073607566.post-22701938713818481952017-08-23T01:01:21.043+10:002017-08-23T01:01:21.043+10:00Everyone else is having all the fun, it seems to b...Everyone else is having all the fun, it seems to be passing us by.James Highamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14525082702330365464noreply@blogger.com
