II.<\/h2>\n<\/dt>\n
\nIn spring, 2012, there was a partial eclipse over Japan.\n<\/dd>\n<\/dl>\n

<\/p>\n

My wife and I were staying by the Kamo River and were able to view it for a few minutes with special glasses, but I was more interested in seeing the crowds staring up at the sky. So I rode down the river, marveling at the many sorts of people pausing in their day to absorb a cosmic event. It was a harmonious moment, so many different walks of people doing as one, almost genuflecting at the phenomenon. I must have photographed two dozen on my journey, but this one of a salaryman in his \u00e7\u0081\u00ab\u00e3\u0081\u00ae\u00e9\u00b3\u00a5 (firebird) glasses resonates most, so much so that it is included in my photo book, Sunlanders.<\/i><\/p>\n
