Changing eclipse shadow in La Serena, Chile

This series of photos from Eliot Herman shows the progress of the moon's shadow during the July 2, 2019, total solar eclipse in Chile. He wrote: "These 4 images represent the stages of the eclipse and the moon's shadow. Top, the onrushing shadow a few seconds before totality. The next photo shows the instant of totality (C2). The 3rd photo shows mid-eclipse. The 4th photo shows the end of the eclipse (C3). Note the changing shape of the shadow and the colors of the onset of the eclipse with its sunset colors." Thank you, Eliot!
