Eclipse - South Carolina

We visited Lake Keowee, South Carolina to view the Total Eclipse of the Sun on August 21, 2017. What an incredible sight! We chose to view the partial and total eclipse from a boat in the middle of the lake, ensuring that we could move if a cloud happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong place. Photography was challenging but improved as I learned. Wow!
