Last month (Aug 21st), I went to Gallatin Tennessee to observe the total eclipse of the sun. As this post has nothing to do with chimera African violets, people that grow African violets, generally speaking, have a respect for nature and general interest in it. Hence this post. I took this photo with no filter using a 1000 MM lens. I hope to experience this most amazing sight at least one more time. It was truly remarkable. (Click on the image to enlarge it).
