Ring of Fire
This is actually from 2012 when the Mt. Shasta area was in the zone of maximum eclipse for this annular solar eclipse. Today we were a little outside of the maximum zone of 90% blockage, but 80% was almost as good. The sun was just peaking out here and there from the clouds, but we still got a good look. I didn't even bother to photograph it, because as I'm sure many of you know, photographing an annular eclipse is a total pain, whereas photographing totality (as I did in Oregon in 2017) is much easier as you can take those solar glasses off. A lovely show in any case!
