Nia Quinn and her son Jay Quinn view the eclipse from the comfort of a blanket at The Fly in uptown New Orleans. Trish Callais, left, and Michelle Roper take in the eclipse near the Cabrini Bridge on Bayou St. John. During the astronomical event, tree leaves cast crescent-shaped shadows. Two sun-gazers get creative using cardboard boxes to view the eclipse.
