Another bite

Today the Moon covered the Sun again: total in Siberia and Mongolia, not for us. Less than half covered at our place, in the late afternoon, so we saw a low yellow Sun with a dent in it above the mountains. A truck driver stopped on the highway and asked whether it was the end of the world. We said no, offered him tea, and he stayed for twenty minutes.

The dented Sun over the Kyzyl-Adyr hills, late afternoon.
