I hope you are all well and taking care of yourselves!
It’s been a while since I’ve been able to come by here, as the weeks are busy this month of April, but we had a very important date this month, and on which I meet many people in different places around the world, mainly in cities in the United States of America and here in Canada.
I’m talking about the Solar Eclipse that happened on April 8, 2024. Here the weather closed during the eclipse, but it was possible to perform different moments with different equipment, and I want to leave these records for you.
Thank you for publishing these gripping photos. I haven’t seen as many as I expected to, Your’s are really quite good. I experienced a total eclipse back in 1971 or 72. Here where I live the totality was supposed to be 96%. It amazed me how much difference that 4% made. No cooling, no confused birds, and softened but distinct shadows.
Hello My friend and Neighbour @GasparKaren I loved your quality photos. I am and was just east of you in Durham region and we struggled with a lot of cloud cover as well. I was at Trail Hub which is Durham’s highest altitude, it used to be a ski resort. It was a good turnout, below is my best attempt. Either way it was fun to be part of.
@Rednewt74 My friend, it was really very intense, beautiful and crazy at the same time.
Constantly, some hawks and eagles pass by the window of my house, as my apartment is very high and I live facing a park, and it was very interesting and scary at the same time, to see how the animals were reacting to this movement, and more It’s still crazy that the sky opened up in an incredible way after the eclipse.
Wow, @GasparKaren ! Your experience of the Solar Eclipse in Toronto sounds absolutely mesmerizing! The way you described the transition from day to night and the dance of colors in the sky is so vivid and enchanting. The images you captured, especially from different vantage points like your apartment balcony and the building’s rooftop, truly bring the event to life for us. It’s fascinating to see the eclipse progress through your lens, from the beginning of the sun’s closure by the moon to the stunning moment of the eclipse’s completion and the moon rising.
Thank you for sharing these incredible moments with us. Your post has added a touch of celestial magic to our day! Wishing you a fantastic week ahead filled with more awe-inspiring experiences. Hugs!
Wow @GasparKaren ! These photos are so beautiful. I wish I had been there to see it myself, but your photos are the second best thing. Especially with that 2nd and 3rd photo- you really captured the details very well!
