This scenis lake in Guatemala was the scene of a spectacular solar eclipse.
We had seen partial eclipses before, but not a complete one! We were also sure that it would be a major event in the Guatemalan culture. And indeed, people were advised to stay inside, to watch television, but definitely not go outside because of the possible side-effects for personal well-being. We decided to walk out into nature, and enjoy the spectacle there. This turned out to be a wise decision, as we were alone in the fields when we decided to sit down and let events happen. Apart from some pieces of coloured glass, we unfortunately did not have any equipment to really watch the eclipse.
