Where are you watching the eclipse?

[Honky Tonk]

Initially I was like 'I'll see it on online later...' but as it turned out I was on the east side near the riverfront, and as the building atrium grew darker out we went with the 'funny' glasses !

You could hear a few boats and freighters from the river sounding their horns and salutes!

The experience was cooler than I thought! Weird hazed look as the eclipse increased.

I understand it was darker in other areas. Right?

The freighters were sounding their horns because there were fishermen in the shipping lane.on the Canadian side. Detroit was at 99% of the eclipse, Luna Pier at 100%, so it was a little "darker ". It wasn't the darkness as much as the weird type of light at the pinnacle of the eclipse, for me. My third eclipse, and the best I've seen. Check out the Northern Lights [not the bar] sometimes in the UP if you really want to see a freaky light show.

Thanks for the details re. the ship horn blowing HT! Makes sense.

Hah, yes, I almost fell into the bar on my way to the lights......
