Down In Front! You're Blocking the Sun!

So this one took a little work.  There are a lot of things that you can do with a camera straight off the shelf, but taking pictures of the sun isn't really one of them.  After messing with the settings I discovered that if I put the lens of my sunglasses in front of the lens of my camera...

or shoot through the window of a welding helmet...

 I could actually get some fun pictures of today's eclipse.

We only got to see about 65% coverage being this far north.  So not quite the spectacular show that some parts of the country saw, but it made for an amazing sunset.

This shot reminded me of the logo from the TV show "China Beach."
