These incredible images come from the camera of quotetheunquote, who took the photos on June 10
… of the solar eclipse rising over the rural landscape of southern Ontario. I’ve seen a few partial eclipses before (never a full one, alas) but this was definitely a special occasion; it was like a rising crescent moon, except for some reason, this moon was burning red hot. I doubt that I will ever see anything like this again!… We also got a photo of some eclipse-lit heifers, who were thoroughly unimpressed with the whole thing.

What an amazing experience to have! Thank you for sharing it, that is indeed incredible.
Sort of quoting Ursula K. LeGuin: The cows other places may like eclipses, but the cows here don’t care. LOL.
A gorgeous crescent sun.
A very nerdy tangent on kestrel’s paraphrasing @ 1:
I wonder what programming environments cows like if Eclipse isn’t to their liking, Visual MOOdio, MOO Emacs or MOO-t Creator?
Amazing!
Those are beautiful photos. A crescent moon is a pretty common sight, but a crescent sun, not so much!
How gorgeous!
@kestrel, @ice swimmer, @avalus, @springa73, and @Gilliel: Thanks -- an amazing experience indeed, no CGI required!
Also @kestrel; I am not well-versed in LeGuin -- what’s the reference?
