Solar Eclipse Shadows

As a resident of suburb Portland Oregon, I was able to experience the total solar eclipse today. 

![IMG_4874.JPG](https://steemitimages.com/DQmQG9HNcdayew78zALQHv9YtiMcyMLfURfcMCz5xzSRZvB/IMG_4874.JPG)

My iphone couldn't handle a picture of partial eclipse, the bright sun appears round through my camera, although this picture was around 95% coverage, you can see the darker sky, and sunset like effect on the horizon. 

butt check these crescent shaped shadows I noticed before totality. 

![IMG_4843.JPG](https://steemitimages.com/DQmZzXugfGRmwbwW6z4kkYQCRiUvz4sJ3toSLdfi3TS7vC3/IMG_4843.JPG)

The sun beaming through my trees was only able to produce partial shadows due to the majority of the sun being covered by the moon.

Pictures (especially mine) and video do no justice to what is actually experienced. The eerie feeling as full darkness comes on extremely quick, within seconds,  the suns' corona shining behind the moon while creating odd quick moving shadows all over the ground, and a 360 degree sunrise/sunset.

Some dimming of daylight starts much earlier than total coverage, but not normal evening or morning type dimming, it is very hard to explain. Kind of like some small budget black and white movies trying to portray night time, but you can tell were filmed during the day with a camera filter.... 'tis quite surreal.

Love the pics of the crescent moon shadows! I just posted about our totality eclipse experience in Tennessee, but we didn't really see shadows like this because we were out in the full sun. Thanks for sharing!

Thanks, I'm glad you liked it. I wasn't looking for them either, just happened to notice when I went out back. 
Glad you got to see the eclipse as well

THX for the post, it's pretty cool to see how other people experienced this.  I was in the Lincoln, Nebraska area but the clouds prevented us from seeing it during totality, that was a bit disappointing. We did have good views before & after totality & had it occurred just an hour or so later, the clouds cleared out by then.

It was very strange to hear crickets chirping & night birds calling at 1 PM for sure! The air temperature also dropped about 10 degrees. We didn't travel far & since I got to catch up with an old friend, the trip was good.  I would hate to travel a great distance to have it be a cloudy day.
