SWIPE ⬅️ 🌑✨ A Moment of Total Eclipse Magic ✨🌑
Feeling utterly awestruck after witnessing the breathtaking beauty of the total solar eclipse yesterday! 🌞🌕🌑 To have had the privilege to witness this celestial spectacle from the parking deck at Crouse Hospital, perched high above the city skyline and right next to the iconic clock tower of @crousehealth was an experience beyond words.
As the moon gracefully danced in front of the sun, casting a mesmerizing shadow over the earth, time seemed to stand still. The world around me was enveloped in an ethereal twilight, and for those precious moments, I felt an indescribable connection to the cosmos.
Nature’s grandeur never fails to humble and inspire, reminding us of the magnificence that surrounds us each day. Yesterday’s eclipse was a gentle yet powerful reminder to pause, look up, and marvel at the wonders of the universe.
Grateful beyond measure for this unforgettable experience!
