Eclipse Day

We're in Georgia waiting for the eclipse, in a lovely cabin in the mountains in Hiawassee, GA, in the northeast corner of the state, where Georgia, North Carolina, and Tennessee meet.

Photo taken from email from the Washington Post.  Thanks, guys.



Woke up at the regular time - 6AM - and it's pitch-black out.  The sun won't be up for another hour.

You may be able to see the crescent sun in dappled shadows.  Or you could make a lattice pattern of your fingers and look at the shadow they make on the ground.
