Annular Solar Eclipse

The Annular Solar Eclipse in New Mexico, USA was approached in a different way. The central phase could be seen during sunset, making it possible to be observed with naked eye, i.e. without solar filter. It was a great view of the sunset with the "Ring of Fire" on the sky, from the desserted land of New Mexico. The wider area around the city of Rosewell is full of wind turbines and oil pumps.
