The sun actually rose behind the mountain about 15 minutes before this shot. It would clear the edge of the mountain in about 10 minutes and a few minutes after that the annular eclipse would begin. At least I'm sure it did... Unfortunately I got clouds and just a single shot of a partially eclipsed sun breaking through clouds. I had a vision... a vision of a sequential shot of the full eclipse angling up from the edge of this beautiful mountain. I planned and found the perfect spot. Unfortunately Mother Nature had other plans for 14 October 2023.
I actually knew that historically there was a 60% chance of clouds but the mountain called and I went there instead of the desert. Win some, lose some I guess.
