Me, along with my husband, son and a couple of his roommates friends went to the Carmelite Retreat Center in Liberty, TN and got 2m 40sec of totality. The Center is in the middle of nowhere and miles from any streetlights or major highway, so we had ‘dark sky’. It was AMAZING! No photograph can do it justice.
As the sun began to be covered by the moon, the butterflies settled and the birds found their roost. The air began to get cooler - like at sunset. During totality, we saw the horizon in 360 and there were stars that we just don’t see at that time of day. The sunlight danced, shimmered and sparkled. My husband was able to take this photograph - just using a point & shoot camera.
