The perfect annular view was only possible from San Antonio TX....

The photo below shows the sun rays shadowed by the moon as they reflect on the ground. Really amazing!

Nice! 
We went out about the same time in S. Florida, got about a half cover. I bought some pairs of welding goggles back for the last complete eclipse 5 or 6 years ago, drug them out again today. No pics, though. I forgot about the weird shadows, a total eclipse is some spooky weirdness. No wonder the oldsters used them to terrify the masses.

Indeed! all the shadows were distorted in very strange ways because of the moon... this was the first time I became aware of that.

I purchased a welder's mask spare lens, and taped it to a piece of flat cardboard; unfortunately, the filtering changes the color, so I could not take pics through it.

I thought about the effect it had back in the middle ages... yes, it would have been easy to scare people with the last judgement day!
