Nat Hab staff had a stellar time watching the solar eclipse at our Boulder, Colorado headquarters. The fun continued as your photo submissions to the #NatHabEclipse hashtag contest rolled in!
Big thanks to all who participated! We received entries from across the U.S., including several from the path of totality—and even one from the U.K.
The Nat Hab office staff has voted for our favorite #NatHabEclipse shots, and we have a tie. Congratulations to our two winners—Diana Russler of New York and Kim Adams Griffin of South Carolina! These talented photographers each win a Nat Hab Patagonia fleece to keep them cozy on future chilly photography forays.

“Dr. Grass” (!) demonstrates how to use a monocular to (safely) project an image of the eclipsed sun onto cardboard. #NatHabEclipse pic.twitter.com/QtCtYSmL4X

A colander is used as pinhole projector to “illuminate” Mr. Grass with many images of the eclipsed sun! 😉 #NatHabEclipse pic.twitter.com/L9pL5txfnI

The beauty of nature and the perfection of physics. Or is it the other way around? Pretty cool either way.
