Well, that was truly amazing. Something that is really indescribable. As cliche as it sounds, the photos and videos really fail to duplicate the experience. If I can say one thing to you guys, it's go see a solar eclipse in the path of totality before you die. Amazing.

It's practically impossible to photograph the eclipse without some serious gear. So all I can really offer you guys is the landscape before and during totality.

I actually kinda regret taking pictures. It's such a short extraordinary experience, photographs are wasted on it...
