Some events come around only every so often...Burning Man once a year... Other events even less frequently. The last time I saw a solar eclipse was when I was in grade school...so many years ago.
This was as good a pic as I could get here in Wilsonville, Oregon without special filtering. I had hoped that Wilsonville would be just inside the path of totality, but apparently it was just outside. Next time I'll try to do some better planning. In any case the best thing to remember about these kinds of events is not the event itself but in the getting together with others...my neighbors and I did a fair amount of intermingling for a couple of hours while we watched.
