Solar Eclipse 2024

Crane Beach, Massachusetts   

8 April 2024

A day when the Sun meets the Moon.
 When only the minutes of time bring a sense of where I am and have always been,

  and why is the Sun a principal part of my being.

This is just a partial eclipse, 93% of the Sun is occluded.
 Enough for the light to pass away and for the cold to come in, in the middle of warm daytime.

Never before, have I been face to face with a chance of this life giving power going away.
 As if the Sun is trying to teach me a lesson. 

    I wonder... 

Crane Beach: ... Solar Eclipse today...

Crane Beach: ... a day...

Crane Beach: ... when the Sun meets the Moon...

Crane Beach: ... 93% of the Sun is occluded, enough...

Crane Beach: ... for the cold to come in...

Crane Beach: ... and the light to pass away...

Crane Beach: ... face to face...

Crane Beach: ... with a chance of this life giving power going away...

Crane Beach: ... as if...

Crane Beach: ... the Sun is trying to teach me a lesson...

Crane Beach: ... I wonder...

Solar Eclipse 2017

Fells Reservation, Massachusetts

21 August 2017

Solar Eclipse Day. Partial Eclipse Here.

Three months ago: Thinking of going for the Total.

We choose Grand Teton National Park. All booked... already. Stratospheric prices.
  The Park expects CROWDS. Some roads may be closed.
    Do I want to be a part of highly-priced, screaming, clapping parade?

I wish to see the Nature get SURPRISED, humans cannot. The science makes sure we don't.

  Maybe I can still be surprised. Just a BIT... with the passing clouds...

Fells: 13:33 EDT - Just on time

Fells: Maybe I can still be surprised

Fells: 14:43 EDT - Half way over

Fells: 15:54 EDT - Passing clouds between Us
