My brother and I just got back from a successful eclipse journey. We drove from Louisville north on I-65 to Austin, IN with only minor traffic problems. On the way back we headed straight east through Amish country and to route 421 south, back into KY via the bridge at Madison IN. Beautiful drive both ways.

We had about two minutes of full eclipse there. It was very, very good – nothing but blue skies for the whole hour+ of the event.

My pictures were…just OK. But I have the memories locked down. Here’s my best full eclipse shot.

This next shot was via iPhone during about 95% totality. It ended up looking pretty cool. You never really know what a digital camera with onboard processing is going to do to an image.

Finally, the headline shot above the post’s title is from Texas, by way of Mexico. My friend Corey (in Mexico) has a TX friend who sent him the shot. It’s a keeper.
