Yesterday's annular eclipse came and went.
Pagosa Springs is about 40 miles from the boundary of the zone where the entire moon could be "seen" against the sun, but it's not as if you could actually see anything (unless you happen to have some #14 welder's glass in your toolbox). That left those wanting to enjoy the spectacle with the ol' "pinhole camera" technique of projecting the sun's image through a small hole, which is how I captured these images.
There really isn't much to do during an eclipse, so Galina and I watched a 1989 film titled Zatoichi, in which the title character—a blind masseur whose Daredevil-like abilities make him an unbeatable swordsman—ends up wading through a small army of bad guys. Our eclipse-induced blood lust sated (just kidding), Galina and I then watched Jean Reno in L'Empire des loups (Empire of the Wolves), which wasn't quite as bloody, but offered a good cops-solve-mysterious-crime story.
At maximum eclipse, area surrounding around the house just looked as it would if the sun was a bit lower in the sky. I can't wait for 2017, when a total eclipse will pass pretty much across the entire United States!
