My eclipse adventure was a COMPLETE BUST [View all]

I traveled 15 hours from Arizona to San Antonio.
Captured a couple of pictures of partiality but thick clouds obscured totality.
It was interesting the combination of dark clouds and totality......very dark and fascinating.

My congratulations to those who got to witness the event and take those incredible pictures....

Alas......I struck out.
