15th Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Natural World
The Hole in the Sky, the Corona, and Mercury

The 2017 Total Solar Eclipse as seen from Central Oregon. There are no words adequate enough to describe seeing the approaching shadow of the Moon and looking up to see our sun's corona with my naked eyes. It was simply a fantastic sight!
