Eclipse Rings
Explanation: She knew everything but the question. She was well aware that there would be a complete
annular eclipse of the
Sun visible from their driving destination:
Lake Abert in
Oregon. She knew that the next
ring-of-fire eclipse would occur in the
USA only in
16 more years, making this a rare photographic opportunity. She was comfortable with the plan: that she and her boyfriend would appear in front of the eclipse
in silhouette, sometimes alone, and sometimes together. She knew that the
annular phase of this eclipse would last only a few minutes and she helped in the many
hours of planning. She could see their friend who set up the
camera about 400 meters away at the bottom of a ridge. What she didn't know was the question she would be asked. But she did know the answer: "yes".
