May 20 2012 the moon passed directly in front of the sun to create an annular solar eclipse. But the Moon's apparent diameter was too small to completely cover the Sun so at the height of the eclipse it created a ring, called an annulus, that is also known as a Ring of Fire.

This is a composite of photographs taken at Bryce Canyon, Utah USA, using a Canon DSLR fitted with a special black polymer solar filter. If you zoom in on the fuller images of the sun, you can see 3 distinct areas of sunspots. As the moon moved away from the sun, the sun began to sink below the horizon so that it set still in partial eclipse.

Stirred by glimpses into wild and remote places, a spirit was awakened to journey along a road that stretches into endless possibilities. A journey Owed to Nature. Passionate about nature and wildlife, traveling near and far for images instilled with a personal vision to inspire, Owed to Nature strives to honor and protect wilderness, wildlife and the ecosystems that give them life. OWED TO NATURE is the photography of Sylvia J. Zarco For more, please visit my other galleries: www.OwedToNature.com http://www.redbubble.com/people/owedtonature And follow @OwedToNature on Instagram
