Several local residents traveled southeast this week for the best seats in America to witness the moon’s total eclipse of the sun on Monday afternoon.
Darryl Hall of Lakeville shared the moment with his daughter, Harbour; Rolf Erdahl of Apple Valley partook in eclipses of a celestial and musical variety, and former Dakota County resident Chris Hahn told himself he was going to just take it in but couldn’t resist the photographer in him snapping a few images anyway.
