Did anyone else look down during the eclipse? Amazing

pinholes in the leaves act as pinhole projection cameras, projecting an image of the occluded sun onto the ground. It's magical...

That's amazing. I was surprise how the air turned cooler. It was different from a normal drop in temperature from the the sun going behind a cloud, or setting. The air felt different from anything I've experienced. We had 92% coverage, and I was surprised how much there still was from the 8 % that was showing. The character of the light was different too.

Those are shadow lines or shadow snakes. No one knows exactly whey they happen, but they appear 10-30 seconds before totality and then reappear after totality ends for 10-30 seconds. They move and writhe in unison. I have a video on my phone of faint shadow lines.

I suspect they are individual shadows cast from the sun peeking through the valleys on the limb of the moon shortly before and after totality. And I'm probably wrong.

Or they could be those same beams of moon valley sunlight passing thorough individual thermal columns in the Earth's atmosphere, which distort them in a uniform fashion.
