Weird light
Added 2024-04-16 13:47:01 +0000 UTC
Last week I saw my first (and hopefully not only) total solar eclipse. We were so lucky to have a clear day and to be able to see it from our balcony in Montréal. I can't get over how surreal of an experience it was. The birds really did go quiet during totality. I imagine they were just as flabbergasted as I was.

2024-04-19 04:11:20 +0000 UTCI had to make an epic road trip to Ohio. Started with someone turning down the dimmer switch on the sun, then the sun turned into a glowing Krispy Kreme glazed doughnut with a giant cone of darkness descending around it, and sunset effects all around the horizon.

2024-04-16 17:28:51 +0000 UTCI visited Montréal last week for this reason! We actually drove out halfway to Toronto as we were invited by friends, but the rest of the week was wonderful wandering through the city!

2024-04-16 16:36:27 +0000 UTCThis has such a lovely gravity to it. I swear I could hear the universe vibrating/shaking on the eclipse panel! No wonder the birds were speechless!

2024-04-16 14:25:21 +0000 UTCI would love a print of this one! I definitely channeled those birdos during totality.

2024-04-16 14:24:12 +0000 UTCThe gulls flew out during the totality? That sounds beautiful! I can definitely make a print of this for you. I was originally planning on colouring (digitally) the whole thing blue, but I forgot to try before posting. If you email me at bark@falseknees.com I can show you what the print could look like in pencil like seen here, or blue.

2024-04-16 13:51:57 +0000 UTCI had an almost full (93%) where I live and it was amazing. A friend and I went for a walk and the light was really wierd. But I imagine so were we and everyone else looking through our solar glasses. 😅
