Annularity
Cedar Mesa, Utah
2023

We traveled to southern Utah to see the annular solar eclipse on the 14th and to visit with family and friends. The annular eclipse was definitely interesting, but for my money it paled (no pun intended) in comparison to the total eclipse we witnessed in 2017. That total eclipse was one of the most, if not the most, spectacular and surreal natural events I’ve ever seen. But YMMV. Regardless I did take the time to photograph the annular eclipse so I thought I’d post something, even though there’s of course no shortage of photos of it on social media. To make mine a bit more interesting I combined a photo of the eclipse at its most perfectly annular stage encircling a photo of a rock on the ground with eclipse images formed by, in this case, a gap someone formed with their hands, or possibly their armpit of all things.

I took this photo late last year. I’m not sure how I missed posting it then but I stumbled across it today. It’s a good one I think, so better late than never?

If you’ve seen Aaron Siskind’s photographs, you’ll perhaps understand why this screen cover in the amphitheater at the Devil’s Canyon campground seemed strangely familiar to me.

Some upturned dead weeds provided an unexpected abstract composition.

A quick glance at this burned tree had me seeing some dark forest creature with its hands reaching up into the air.
