Category: General
Posted by: The Agnew Family
We drove into Port Elgin today to meet up with other members of the PROBUS cycling group.
Along the way we saw this field of sunflowers. Ed couldn't resist taking a few photos.
We enjoyed are bike ride though were disappointed that only a few of us showed up. After the ride we to stopped at Betty and Gary's cottage in Port Elgin for a cold drink. When we were about to leave, Ed realized that it was almost time for the eclipse to start. He was prepared --- he had brought a welding helmet and his camera with him. We sat by the lake and watched the 70% eclipse. A few people walked by so we let them have a look through the helmet.
A shot of the harbour. It was a little hazy but you can see the sun.
The eclipse. Good thing we stayed in Port Elgin. Ed was told that Walkerton was cloudy during the eclipse.
