This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

I remember something similar with the previous eclipse, which I watched from a different park in Kentucky. But there weren't any leaves on the trees here yet for that to happen this time.

Without the leaves, the shadows of trunks and limbs had hard edges during the eclipse where I was at with 80+ coverage. Like solid black ink shadows instead of the fuzzy shadows they usually have late in the day.
