One comment I liked was that it’s like you’re in an apocalyptic scene in a science fiction movie, but nothing apocalyptic happens! LOL
One guy I know from car forums is making plans to go to Tunisia in 2027. I don’t think I’ll travel that far. He missed 2017.
Yeah I get that apocalyptic sense. It was a little ominous, or foreboding, but then when the totality happened, it almost reverent and holy. I couldn’t believe that for those few minutes, everything was quiet. Completely quiet and still. Birds sounded like they do in the evening, like they went to bed. Squirrels were quiet. Everyone in our group went silent. There were no man made sounds.
It was dark like nighttime, but the colors were different than dusk, like there was a different filter over the lens. I can’t quite explain it, but that was so thrilling. My son and his girlfriend are a few hours away and still in the path of totality, but several minutes later than us. They were excited the same way.
Perhaps if it’s ever going to be over a place I want to go to, then maybe we will travel to get there, and stay for a while.
Where did you end up traveling to this time to view it? Was it as clear a day as it was here in the Indy area?
