Description
As the August 21, 2017 solar eclipse moves across North America, the main act is in the sky, but the show on the ground is marvelous too.
This ethereal image is of the odd-looking crescent shaped shadows caused by the sun shining through gaps between the leaves of an ornamental fruit tree. The eclipsed sun casts unique shadows onto a blue poster board on the ground.
This is the first total eclipse to cross the entire United States in 99 years. Although the path of the total eclipse is only 70 miles wide, all of North America experiences at least a partial eclipse.
This was photographed in South Lake Tahoe in Northern California a few minutes past the peak of the partial eclipse. At peak here the moon obscuring 80.4% of the sun. This photograph has the feel of abstract art.

Thanks Ann! Since I wasn't in a total eclipse area, I went for something different with the crescent shaped shadows.
