When the Day turned to Night...



I am still to report on what happened on the 29th March at approximately 1.54pm in Antalya, Turkey. By luck we happened to be located on the exact path that the moon was going to cover the sun - ie. a total eclipse. Bahri, myself and some friends drove 1 hour to a city called Manavgat to watch the event with thousand of tourists. It was an unbelievable sight seeing the day suddenly turn into night and the stars come into full view. We had to wear these wierd but funky sunglasses to look at the sun before the total eclipse otherwise our eyes would be exposed to dangerous radiation. I'm thankful to have been able to experience this as I don't think i'll be around in 70 years to see another one. ...Unfortunately the photos i took didnt turn out so great but here is what I have.
