We drove about 30 miles north to get in the totality path. Found a field with about 100 other watchers and enjoyed the show. One of the few times in my life I was truly in awe...

(7,572 posts)A friend in S. Carolina said it got completely dark at his spot with total eclipse; dark enough for his solar yard lights to come on. I would like to see more photos of various places - the people, sky, and landscape at total eclipse to get a better idea of the phenomenon.

(11,649 posts)Absolutely amazing as it went into totality <snap> And the corona became instantly visible, then 90 seconds later <snap>, it disappeared. With binoculars, you could see Mercury. Never seen that before.

(776 posts)I didn't see it until I looked at them later. I about missed the totality pic because I was too busy gawking around. Such a crazy vibe in the air...

We saw the eclipse in Nashville and still blown away. I got some kind of vertigo feeling when it went full which is hard to describe.
The darkness quickly coming on and my eyes adjusting to a blue hue all around. No LSD involved
Amazing

(19,459 posts)There sure were a lot of people out. We left immediately after totality, trying to miss the Great California Migration flowing out of Oregon but no such luck, even though we took some back roads to avoid the jam around Salem.
Beautiful images! I especially like the people shots, and the Diamond Effect.

(776 posts)We took 99 from eugene up the back way towards corvallis. Once we were in the path we just found a dirt road and lo and behold there was a nice field with people already there. No way we were taking the interstate. We were headed back from Canada at 3am the night before and the cars were still streaming up I-5. Rest stops filled to the gills. Craziness...
