Watching the eclipse is like beating a sore pecker.  You just can't beat it.

My absolute favorite shot of the eclipse as taken by NASA.

So breathtakingly beautiful, it brings tears to the eyes.

It is a nice pic. But when I first saw it I thought the sun was in front of the clouds.

Obviously NASA photographers can do some fantastic work!  I'm stealin that one as well.

It's certainly a very believable pic. I live on the coast and have seen my share of amazing sunsets over the water. I was never able to capture the beauty of God's handiwork because of my inexpensive cameras. I just figured this was a combination of great equipment and being in the correct place to capture the beauty of the moment.

The bottom line concerning any art depicting beautiful things in nature is that none can truly capture the grandeur of the Creator's handiwork.
