I had seen a partial eclipse back in '94 when I was in 4th grade. However, that experience paled in comparison to this one. Totality was beyond compare. The greatest natural show on Earth!!

My mother invited me and a good family friend of ours to come to the mountains with her to view the Eclipse. It was an amazing and spiritual experience!! I took these pictures with my phone using the eclipse glasses the friend provided as a filter. The one of the totality was taken without the filter, and it was amazing!!

The weird part was that my 4 year old android phone could take pictures when the newest iPhones had trouble doing so. Therefor, my pictures were very popular and everyone wanted me to send them off to their respective emails and phones.
