PICTURES AND NEWS
SOLAR ECLIPSE
Our student families were spread out all around the city and town for the solar eclipse. Some were at Taylor park, others were at Hard'ack and many were at home or nearby houses. As 3:26pm on Monday afternoon approached, people settled into comfortable spots to watch the eclipse using solar glasses. Luckily the day was perfect for outdoor viewing with clear skies and comfortable temperatures. It remained remarkably light until the moment of totality when the skyline gained an appearance of late evening, the temperature dropped, mosquitos came out and the birds settled down. Cheers and whoops of amazement rang out before the sun appeared again. Overall the event was most impressive.
PICTURES OF THE SOLAR ECLIPSE
Ms. Brooks did a fabulous job of capturing the whole solar eclipse. You can check out all of her 49 Pictures at this link. The photo below is a screen-capture of the photos taken around the time around totality.
