Most viewed - Kaya Side Hotel - Eclipse Day, 3/29/2006

Bedroom549 viewsIn addition to a luxurious bed, the amenities included complimentary slippers, as seen at the foot of the bed.

A Rapt Audience501 viewsOur tour group, along with other Kaya Side guests, gathers for the onset of the spectacle.

An Embarrassment of Delicacies500 viewsThe goodies just went on and on. There was no ending to them. There was no way any one person could sample them all.

Totality Sunset494 viewsAn unedited photo of the eclipse site at totality.

Reflections of Opulence489 viewsAnother take on the tastefully decorated and sparkling-clean bathroom facilities.

Mezze489 viewsTurkish hors-d'oeuvres.

Weather Readiness483 viewsElouise came prepared for extreme winter weather, up to and including Arctic blasts, while Chuck was all set for a balmy day at the beach.

We Bombed in Side (pace Joseph Heller)482 viewsMichelle and Chuck warily approach the table aux bombes.

Shooting the Eclipse481 viewsMichelle Evans borrowed an 8" Meade LX-200 Schmidt-Cassegrain (large scope in center) from Space Camp Turkey for the eclipse, but it was for visual use only, no photography. Some photographers were content with cameras on tripods (right of center). Others didn't event bother with tripods.

Bombe477 viewsI can never see one of these desserts without being reminded of the 1978 movie "Who Is Killing the Great Chefs of Europe," in which each of the chefs is murdered in a manner befitting his or her culinary specialty.

Pianissimo477 viewsYou could say that this one really took the cake.

Beachfront473 viewsIn the summer the beach would have been filled with vacationers under umbrellas (you can see the naked umbrella frames in this picture). But today there were no beachgoers, just eclipse-chasers, setting up their equipment on the solid ground in back of the hotel.
