The eclipse photos breaking the internet.

Ted Hesser with Tommy Van Smith and Martina Tibell at Smith Rock State Park. Terrebonne, OR.
Best view in the house... it took 4 days of planning and hard work to capture this shot. My girlfriend @martinatib and good friend @thistommysmith climbed the route twice, in scorching heat, to nail the positioning. But we nailed it!

Send it off to NASA, everywhere, it should be shared so more people can see it because its so unusual.

[Kittycow]

16. Thanks for posting!

In my PDX neighborhood it just got kind of cold and the sky was still relatively bright even though the sun was covered up almost all the way.

Viewing these photos has given me that extra excitement that I missed out on by not being able to see the totality.

These are National Geographic worthy IMO.

[MoonRiver]

19. Fantastic!

Watching the totality was one of the most wondrous experiences of my life, albeit a short one. So glad I was able to see it!

20. This picture is breathing??

Is that a variation of breathtaking?

23. I guess it is a poetic way of saying it is alive.

Not homonyms, but close, so also a play with nearly identical words.

25. Oregon, Smith Rocks State Park. A major global rock climbing destination.

Several friends are rangers there. Some of the world's most avid rock climbers have homes nearby. It is on the east side of the Cascade Range, the high desert near the trees to sage brush transistion.

28. All the pics in the post are so beautiful!

I just don't understand people who didn't care about it and made sure to let the rest of us know.

29. I'm thinking that would make an excellent book jacket

Especially Science or Sci-fi. Further, I'd love a print for my house--I love art like that

40. what the hell is a buckyball?

[L. Coyote]

42. It is a Buckminsterfullerene, of course.

Like a soccer ball, twenty hexagons and twelve pentagons, a form of carbon made of 60 atoms.

45. I got some decent shots - but my memory card is messed up

Running recovery software right now. I should have pics to post tomorrow.

Some of the coolest were of the crescents on a sheet of paper under trees. Several of the people with me thought that was just too neat.

My husband got shots of the moon shadow moving across the clouds and landscape. He hiked up a hill to get those.

We viewed the eclipse from the grounds of the John C. Campbell Folk School in Brasstown, North Carolina, along with family and a lot of other people.
