Eclipse Over Pittsburgh

While the 2017 eclipse did not reach totality here in Pittsburgh it did reach 83%. The sky dimmed, the temperature dropped and the crickets started chirping. I was able to experience this impressive event from the North Shore, taking it all in as the sun moved across the cityscape below.
