​Looking Closer


​With a pair of purpose-made protective glasses I watched the 2015 partial solar eclipse from my garden and reflected on the fact that our overpopulated earth was a mere element in the magnificent solar system. The urge to capture the feeling of awe and mystery with a contemporaneous digital image was powerful..... but surrounding trees continually invaded my attempts. This is my memory of that moment.
