I was working at the Big Fresno Fair and a lady passed around sheets of unexposed 4x5 film that filtered the sun so the eclipse could be observed.
It was very cool!

Yep. Stared at the sun through funky glasses for the better part of an hour. Took my old eyes the night to recover.

The shadows through the tree leaves were the coolest part to me. That and how chilly it got at the height of the eclipse. Makes you realize how quickly we would all freeze to death if the sun wasn’t here to warm things up every day!
We didn’t get the full ring though. We were in the 80-90% coverage zone.

I didn’t take the time to look at it. But I was outside, digging trenches, so I really appreciated the moon blocking the sun for a while and making things a little cooler. That moon is welcome back any time I’ve got physical labor to do outside.

I walked outside and wondered if my glasses had transitioned. The sun still looked like the sun, but when I put on the glasses, I could see the crescent. I put them over my phone’s camera, and my phone still saw a ball.
At totality, the sun looked like an eye. It was very cool.
