For a bunch of fanatics with cameras, I feel like we’ve really dropped the ball on this one.
To partially remedy the situation, here’s my favourite photo as posted by the CBC:

(Turaidas Roze was a big thing in the ’80s and ’90s, with the lead singer becoming a very prominent figure in music circles even unto this day. This one’s called Dedication to Midnight, and is a break-up song – the chorus: Don’t come with me, I will go on alone; Who will accompany me? The Moon and the Big Dipper.)
Sadly, my lens wasn’t up to the task and neither was I.
We only got to about 90% and that was through a hole in the clouds. Then the whole sky clouded over and that was the end of the eclipse for So Cal.
Sadly, I needed sleep. But I’ll pester the friend I gave my lens to for pics.
Well I have a bad camera and it was cloudy. And really bloody cold!
