The Ring of Fire Soalr Eclipse happened right on time yesterday evening. I had a hard time trying to figure out how to take a photo of it
- First I tried regular glasses that turn dark when you go outside
- Then I tried sun glasses
- Then Terry remembered his welding helmet….nope, it needed an arc for it to darken
- Then he remembered he had his OLD welding helmet
IT WORKED! But only for our eyes….I couldn’t get the camera to get a decent shot through the tiny vision glass.
But we got to see the eclipse even if I couldn’t take a photo.
The whole thing was really cool…and will not be back to our section of the earth until 2045…I’ll be surprised if anyone living here on our farm will be alive at that time.
But one never knows……
