Explanation:
There were
no crowds on the beach
at Phillips Lake, Oregon on August 21.
But a few had come there to stand, for a moment, in the
dark shadow of the Moon.
From the beach, this unscripted mosaic photo records their much anticipated
solar eclipse.
In two vertical panels it catches
the last few seconds of totality and the first instant of 3rd contact,
just as the eclipse ends and sunlight faintly returns.
Across the US those gathered
along the path of totality also took pictures
and shared their moment.
And like those at Phillips Lake they may
treasure the experience more
than any planned or unplanned photograph of the total eclipse of the Sun.
