Eclipse Light

The eclipse in Jefferson Iowa was supposed to be 94.4 complete and that was enough to suit us although a total would have been completely cool, of course. As it turned out it was a stormy, rainy, cloudy day with only brief bits of sunlight shining through. You could tell an unusual event was taking place but it lacked pizzazz. Jason provided us with a welding plate that allowed us to look at the sun directly and that was indeed spectacular but the moments that we could see the sun were very quickly over. When the light was at its weirdest I took a couple of photos and that is what these are.
