Totality

Toronto and the eastern GTA was just to the north of the path of totality for today's eclipse, so we drove east to Port Hope in the hope that we might have clear skies. Port Hope was just inside the path of totality, but the sky was overcast and the sun not visible at all behind a solid bank of cloud. Still, it was a cool and eerie experience. It was strange hearing the birds coming in to nest as it got dark and then realizing it wasn't really night as it got brighter again 

These pictures were taken right around the short period of totality (maybe a minute). I used manual exposure mode on my phone as otherwise it would have made the scene brighter than it looked to the eye. These are pretty much exactly the way it looked.
