No, the Upper West Side didn’t get to experience “totality”, but eclipse 2017 was totally 71% awesome nonetheless. Check out some photos below, and send yours in to westsiderag at gmail dot com.

Of course there had to be a shirtless guy in Sheep Meadow.

Here’s the eclipse as photographed from 100th Street and Central Park West by Dan Shulman. He didn’t use a filter: “Long lens stopped down to f16 and exposed for 1/8000th of a second.”
