Icelandic Sunset + repost

This was taken in South Wales UK when we had the dust in the air from the volcano (which I'm not going to attempt to spell) in Iceland.

All our aircraft were grounded until it was safe to fly, it was nice not seeing all those vapour trails in the sky though.

The skies were clear during this time with almost no clouds, just an orange haze.

The Sun is setting over the hills above the City of Swansea and Gower, hence the uneven horizon.

I like the graphic nature of the big orange/red sun and silouetted land and town Gary. Only critique may be to brighten the scene a bit.
