Eclipse

Right after I got back from my summer trip, we had the total solar eclipse. Well, it was total, about 100 miles north of where I was in Cheyenne. We had 97.5% totality of eclipse.

It was interesting. Got noticeably cooler. Probably 10-15 degrees for a short while. Was still daylight, but kind of an odd 'dim' to the light. The parking lot lights started turning on, till the eclipse began to end.
Put together a montage of photos, I shot with my small camera through a pair of eclipse glasses. While we missed out on the totality, we also missed out on the traffic! And it was pretty bumper to bumper. Going up and coming back later the same day. Looked like a parking lot on the highway.

Travellin' Man

Time for my summertime roadtrip to visit some family. And I always find a couple interesting photos to take along the way.
Had lots of interesting weather and clouds during the trip. Made a black and white out of this very interesting cloud scene.
Some heavy rainy clouds as well, as you can see from this. Looks like its just about to touch the ground. Was in and out of clouds and rain all the way.
And after you have rain, there's always some standing water. I liked how the water was reflecting the clouds, and broken up by all the rocks. That's about all I have that's interesting from this trip.
