The shadow moved in after rising above the cloud bank. The blue over took us as I swiveled the video camera to the sun after capturing the shadow darkening. The diamond ring spread gold all around the sun. Even as it glinted for a long time , I could see the inner corona. We had full 360 degree view of ring of fire.
Bells rang in the town to the south.
I looked up after recording the corona. The prominences were at 7,3 and 1 o'clock. The golden corona with the golden spikes were glorious. Venus was clearly seen. The golden color of the corona reminded me of that blue gold color on the landscape near Brandon in Canada in 1979.
