I’ve heard some people call the eclipse kinda lame. I think that that’s kinda lame.

In other thoughts, when the eclipse happened, it felt like it was getting dark at the wrong time of day. It was as dark as mid-evening, but the sun wasn’t setting, so you din’t get those atmospheric effects. It’s a really weird thing, and hard to describe.

I felt kind of tired and sleepy after the whole ordeal, with a light headache. I’ve heard other people express similar feelings.

And now for a really crappy photograph:

I tried to take this through the special eclipse glasses, because I thought that the sun’s rays might damage the glass of the camera lens. By the time I heard that it is, in fact, safe to take pictures of the sun and the eclipse with your camera, the eclipse had already almost completely faded.

Here’s a picture that approximates the feeling I described earlier. This is about four minutes after peak eclipse here. The camera didn’t capture the full feeling however, though I edited the photo to approximate it more closely:

It did feel a lot darker than the picture shows.

Finally, two photos of a sunset:
