Eclipse? Not totally.

I thought I’d publish the first photo of the solar eclipse that will occur on August 1. Nah. Not really. The eclipse will occur first in extreme northeast North America (read the wilderness of Canada and Greenland) then travel into northern Asia. No chance of me seeing it here in northern Illinois. Nope. Not even a tiny bit.

So it looks like Photoshop will have to do.
