In my case it’s clear blue skies and anything like stillness or being relaxed.

Edit: for some context the footage of 9/11, the people falling off the plane in Afghanistan, the explosion in Beirut, and many others had that same ominous clear blue sky in the background.

    Total eclipse of the sun

    I’ve seen a number of partials and lunar eclipses through my life but I drove out to see totality last year.

    It was the textbook definition of awesome, it took my breath away in a way I still struggle to describe beyond the words doom and divinity. Took me months to shake it.

    15/10 will absolutely travel for the next one if I’m not dead by then.

      I drove at least a thousand miles to see the one that crossed the US in 2017. I agree with the awesomeness of it all- and despite being in the middle of nowhere, there were a lot of people around, so when totality began, there was this collective gasp that was almost as amazing as the eclipse itself.
