An Eclipse... Double

On Monday evening while eating supper with our friends, Bob and Ester G., in Gaborone, Botswana, we looked up from our braai  to see this great eclipse (picture by Ester G):



We were totally unprepared for this beautiful site!  There had been no announcements or news coverage to our knowledge-- just there it was!  What a treat!

Now, we contrast that with the solar eclipse today.  Who hadn't heard, over and over and over, about the eclipse traversing the USA.  I made 5 pinhole viewing boxes.  We started viewing early in the 3-hour eclipse, and looked off and on to the end.  here is a photo courtesy of D Asmussen.



These "natural" events point us to the G^d of the Universe.  We are created in His image, and I think that is WHY we see these things as beautiful!

All praise to Him!
