Wow. Just gorgeous. I love false-color pictures of the sun. It's a shame that hunk of rock was in the way in most of the shots eh?
Seriously, thanks for sharing. I didn't even think to look for gorgeous shots like that, I was mostly following hobbyists (where I was the west coast, it was cloudy, and I didn't have any equipment).

I saw it through my 3.5" Questar Duplex - even got a reasonable photo.
I spent a couple weeks getting ready, checking weather reports planning alternate viewing points in case of cloud cover.
I bought tint 13 & 14 welders helmet panes and eclipse rated cardboard glasses so that we could all see the spectacle in different ways
It was nothing like what we saw here, but the feeling I got from seeing the transit in real time, in my backyard was pretty intense.
Glorious in fact!
But - I must say it - I am addicted fractured Latin phrases:
"Sic Transit Gloria Mundi"*
*Monday, Gloria was very sick on the streetcar."
And My new translation:
"Sic Transit Gloria Veneris"*
*Monday, Gloria got an STD on the streetcar!
Couldn't help it.
