When moon finally met sun

2024 Total Solar Eclipse. To avoid clouds over Toronto my wife and I drove 3 hours west to Chatham-Kent area. We were in a rural area with farms nearby and we could hear cows mooing during totality. All in all, a great experience, probably not to be repeated again in this lifetime. The moon approached from below and covered the Sun for slightly over two minutes, enough to get some decent photos of all of eclipse phases, including the diamond ring with solar prominence (top right corner), Corona, and Bailey's Beads (bottom left corner) - the whole enchilada. The orange hue of the Sun before and after totality is due to the lens filter used, the filter was removed during totality.
