Gail Hamilton's husband, Dave, was watching the eclipse reflected through a pin-hole in a sheet of paper, as recommended. After looking at it for a while, Gail wandered to the back of her house where she found a kaleidoscope of eclipses dancing on their deck and garage. The eclipse was reflected off their Redwood trees and created quite a show for Gail.

Below is  Gail and Dave's back deck. What an amazing photo!

And below the eclipse as seen off the side of the Hamiltons' garage.

Gail said, "It was unimaginably beautiful. I was transfixed by this amazing whirling multiplicity of images."
Thanks to Gail for allowing me to share her photos with you here.

Sus Susalla and Liz Redfield photographed the eclipse as it was seen reflected off of several different surfaces at the Gualala Arts Center. This first photo is of a sculpture by Robert Holmes that resides in the gardens of the Art Center. The eclipse is reflected on the legs of the sculpture.

And below you will see the eclipse multiplied on the surface of one of the parking areas of GAC.

 And below is when Sus held his camera up towards the sun, something he knows he shouldn't have done, but look at the beautiful photo he captured.

Thanks to Sus and Liz for allowing me to share their unique eclipse photos with you here. To learn more about the Gualala Arts Center, the heart of our town, here's the link: http://gualalaarts.org/

The weather was perfect for watching the eclipse on Sunday afternoon. One of the most creative ways to view it was dreamed up by Deborah and Bob Silva. As you will see by Bob's photo, they put a sheet of white paper on the side of their house and held up a colander. The shadows of the eclipse created a unique and beautiful collage, a true work of art by the Silvas, the Moon and the Sun. That's quite a collaboration!

Thanks to Deborah and Bob for allowing me to share this photo with you here.
