We are now in Ouray, (pronounced Uray) Colorado which is a little town in Colorado that is very quaint. Think it is an old mining town and during the summers there is lots of jeeps running around the hills. Our friends have just bought a place and are in the process of moving in. It it had a ocean close by, I could live here. It is beautiful.
Last night was really awesome. We spent about 3 hours at the Panorama Viewpoint in Arches National Park with about 200 people watching the annular solar eclipse. The rangers passed out some viewing squares, but we had to share, so met some really nice people for all over. Of course Marv made his own pinhole viewer so he could take pictures. And he got some really nice ones.
This was taken through the filter but was hard to hold the camera still.
This was taken though the Rangers peephole light box. The image is inverted but you get the idea. It was a truly amazing show. Marv is already planning on the solar eclipse that is taking place in August, 2017. We will be in John Day to see it. That will be one of the best places. Nice to have something to look forward to.
Tomorrow we are going to Montrose, Colorado to visit with Marv's aunt, and then Wednesday we head toward New Mexico slowly.
Til later.
