my son lives in Copperhill, i did not know they had full eclipse there. i saw suggestions for what to use to view it if no glasses around and the welding helmets and welding glasses were good. love the pic
Your sister and family were blessed to be able to see the eclipse at full totality. What an amazing sight it must have been. Ours was partial here, but I didn't get to see even that!
Why helmets? A pair of adequate sun glasses will do. It looks funny, but it reminds me of masques against chemical warfare we got, in case Saddam Hussein attacks. And that was not funny at all. We were scared.
The town had sold out of glasses to see the eclipse. They made do with welding helmets which they had in their garage. He is a mechanic. Sorry Duta for the bad memory it brought up...I have no bad memories here, we are so blessed
What a great idea!!!! We had total eclipse here in Crossville --and my son/wife came here that day. He brought his big telescope so we could see everything up close and personal. BUT--we also had our special glasses and special lenses on our cameras.... Just an awesome day!!!!!
We got so dark here that the solar lights came on!!!!! ha
