  1. Nothing really captures seeing a solar eclipse. The temperature change, weird shadow twinkling, while in the wild (was on a mountain) get extremely quiet, not a sound... other than the folks below who at some point into the totality started to play some music. Worth seeing if you get a chance.

  2. Cameras suck at picking up what it appears to be, you can kind of make out the roundness of the moon, these two giant orbs... really brings out the fact we're in space... and it doesn't hurt your eyes to look at it.

  3. Was between Idaho City and Lowman with my Nephew on top a mountain, the switch back below the mountain we were on, a group of people had parked to watch it broke the absolute silence playing some music and you could hear them whooping about 30 seconds into totality... just before it and as it started there was an eerie dead silence. Some annoying grouse and/or pheasants were making some funny noises moments before as well as some cute chipmunks. Then absolute silence and rapid coolness and breezes.
