Solar Eclipse

On Wednesday 14th November 1000s of people from around the world descended on Cairns, Australia to witness a once in a lifetime event-a total solar eclipse. We are very privilidged as just had to walk around the corner and on to the beach where it all happened. The clouds parted long enough to get some good photos. Pictures were taken by my husband as I was overseas in New Zealand so missed out. Mind you I was busy buying fabric to bring back etc. My apologies- I have been reading all the posts this year but have not posted for much of the year as have been dealing with health issues, long work hours and little time to make quilts so was getting very frustrated. Hopefully I am back on track and will once again become active-this is just the best site with so much positive feed back given by all-will try and post some quilt pictues as well. Anyhow enjoy the photos- total eclipse and sun just coming out of eclipse. Pictures were too good not to share.
Enjoy.

What a marvelous thrill that must have been for your husband! Excellent pictures. thank you.

:thumbup: Awesome photos!

wow great pictures.

Thank you for sharing the photos. What an experience! Glad you are on the other side of the problems and hope you had a very successful trip!

What a wonderful opportunity to witness some of nature's marvels. Hubby must have been ecstatic.

Oh yes, I was going to ask if anyone got to see that. I remember one when I was little. It got dark outside and my Sister and I got scared. We had no idea what it was.

That is totally cool!

Thanks for the excellent pictures!
