Everyone at the Mount took time off for an outdoor lunch today to enjoy the Eclipse. At its peak the eclipse triggered some of the street lights to turn on. The full effect is not noticeable in photos because the darker it got the more the lens opened for proper exposure. The lighting did get pretty weird though in person. View More Photos
