My primary kids told me there was going to be a solar eclipse. This was two days before boards. I was so cocooned up in my studying that I had not heard about it. With a little warning I would have bought an arc welding lens. A few places in town were giving away disposable viewing glasses, but they had long lines and quickly ran out. One of the primary kids said their teacher told them to make a pinhole camera. This is a 5mm image projected on the back of the pinhole camera I made after I got home from church.
Some of our friends invited us up to a nearby park to look through their arc welding lens. This is the picture through that lens.
Albuquerque was in the center of the path to have the moon cross the center of the sun. People flew in from other states.
I took Maggie up to the park and she thought the pinhole camera and looking thought the welding lens was pretty fun. The next day, Maggie asked me what I had done with our pinhole camera.
