On April 8th, 2024, a total solar eclipse occurred in many locations across North America; where the moon’s position blocked the sun completely for nearly three full minutes. The Niagara Region was said to be in the “path of totality”, however we were also experiencing a significant amount of cloud-cover & overcast the majority of the day. The Region was anticipating upwards of one million visitors from across the world to take in the event at Niagara Falls.
Since I am a resident of the Region, it did not take me travelling very far to be able to see it - these images were taken in the Town of Lincoln. The morning was rather disappointing re: the clouds, but thankfully there were several breaks in the overcast skies as the eclipse phases became more prominent in the afternoon; allowing me to capture some images on my DSLR without the use of a solar filter (or any filter…).
As the “total eclipse” phase began, complete darkness took over and the birds outside went silent; my friend’s dogs (shown in this album) also began barking like mad.
As the eclipse ended, the bright sun pierced through the clouds and the birds began chirping once again. Unfortunately there was a significant amount of cloud-cover following the total eclipse, which disappeared later in the afternoon (ending with sunny skies after the eclipse had finished).
I do not know which ‘phases’ I captured by their official name(s), but due to the “historic” nature of the event I did not want to miss any potential goodies and have uploaded my complete ‘keepers’ here.
