Photo taken near Banks of the Mississippi River, Grand Tower, IL, United States by Adam Dutton

"They say your photography should capture more than what you saw, but how you felt in that moment. Embarking on a thousand-mile road trip to Grand Tower, Illinois, a small town on the banks of the great Mississippi River. Nervous and excited to make the most of the event, I set up my tripod and put on the solar filter just before first contact. The moon covering more and more of the sun while I fired away on the shutter release. The air became cooler, the sky grew darker, and then… majesty. Over two minutes of wonder; a 360 degree sunset and the most awe-inspiring sight ever to behold."
