When the sun and the moon had a date and we got to be in the moons shadow, perfectly aligned for a couple of minutes
Words, photos or videos don't do justice to the experience of totality during a solar eclipse. One of those rare instances when the experience actually meets the hype around the event . For 2 minutes 37 seconds the moon covered the sun completely and we were all awestruck at nature's beauty in all it's glory. I am not sure I've seen anything more spectacular in my life !
