Interesting how the clouds were going different directions at different altitudes. It was too cloudy to actually see the eclipse, but that did not stop us from having a great time, or stop the sunset from being totally magnificent. At about 37 seconds, watch how the sky basically explodes with color. Otherwise, you may not believe the photos toward the end of this gallery!

  • The sun is starting into the eclipse here, but you would never know it. It reached full eclipse at just about the time it set, which made for a really odd increase in light as the sun was going down and coming out of the eclipse.
  • NODDY?
  • We have seen spinner dolphins and whales not far from here. No luck on this day, though.
  • And the colors start.....

  • And then, after what started out as a fairly gray sunset.....
  • ....the skies and the waters just kinda seemed to explode with color!
  • Oranges shifting to purples. Blues morphing into magenta.
  • And then, about as fast as the color came on.....
  • ....it faded out and darkened down.<br />
