We got lucky! Medford was in the area of totality, and as we drove east from Grants Pass, we drove through the fog nestled in the Rogue River Valley. But as we crested the last hill before Central Point, we broke out into the sunny valley.
We had out solar eclipse glasses, but I also wanted to see if I could get photos. Here is what I managed to capture.
You could see with your naked eye the moon slowly eat away the sun…the fog helped to see it without using the glasses.
I really wanted a better photo of the “ring of fire” but I had difficulty getting the sun as it got dark. This was the closest I got to my desire (other than seeing it using the glasses).
After totality, the moon slowly left the sun to shine again.
I was so happy that the weather gave us a shot as seeing nature’s light (and dark) show.
