TOTAL Eclipse
I left my last post with this
pic.
Letting you all know that I was
ready for what was taking
place today.
A friend and I drove a bit
up the road, 1.5 hours to
Granville TN
for the actual
TOTAL Eclipse.
We got there early since
we had NO CLUE
what we would be facing
with traffic and people.
It was smooth sailing....
driving!
Walked around Granville
which is a historical
town and has
less then 2000 folks
in it.
Only place I know that you
can actually stand in the
middle of the street and
not get run over.
Nope....we did not check out the
saloon....a bit early for a drink!
haha
However we did walk to the park
that sets on the river.
What a beautiful place.
Fall comes I think I am coming back..
the reflection of the trees on that
water was amazing...
I can just see the fall colors bouncing
off that water!
While sitting there in some chairs I
kept seeing some really
BIG
fish jumping out of the
water.
Although my trigger
snapping finger
is a bit to slow to catch
them!
Local church in the center
of town had a guest
speaker.
There is a cool museum that
tells the story of the town.
I stepped in to catch this shot.
Flowers all over town.
Flags on all the telephone polls.
The General Store.
Signs on and around the General Store.
About 11 we headed to the local
diner for lunch.
After lunch we
picked our spot and
Theresa got set up with
her cameras. And I took
a seat on the bench with my
camera in hand.
Issue being....neither her or I thought
about the cameras and needing
a special filter for our Nikons.
By the time we thought of it,
it was to late to locate a filter.
Although Apple said the Iphones were
good to go.
With that said, mine would not
catch anything!
Anyway....the wait began!
T and two mins counting.
And it begins.
It was fun watching
everyone else.
Played around with my Iphone
and got this shot...
Only when the moon covered
the sun could you look
up without glasses....
and use the Nikon without
a filter.
This is the shot I got.
I thought it was going to get
dark in steps, but it did not
work that way. It got dark
all at once, when the moon
covered the sun.
Strange, dusk at 1:30 in
the afternoon.
The aftermath on I40
on the way home.
Went through Wilson Co. and
the fair is going on.
A special event for the
eclipse took place there
and we got caught up in
that traffic.
After getting home and
picking up the fur babies
at mom's I got home to
remove my hat.
HAT HAIR...
and kind of liking this
look!
haha
Thanks for stopping in,

Yes, great shot, Pam. We were in darkness for a while, couldn't see a thing so I'm glad you were able to.
