The Eclipse as Viewed From Kentucky Lake
The western Kentucky and southern Illinois areas were a ground zero location for viewing the eclipse, with an average totality period of approximately 2 1/2 minutes. This photo was taken during the totality phase and you can see the lights from the basket handle of the new Eggners Ferry Bridge (Highway 68) in the lower left hand corner of the photo. These lights come on automatically at dusk and three minutes later they were no longer visible. For you Loopers, we were anchored at Mile Marker 37, just outside of Higgins Bay and the bridge was five miles south of us.
