Icelandic sunset + pano repost
This was taken in South Wales 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 was setting over the hills above the City of Swansea and Gower, hence the uneven horizon.

Hello Goeff.

Love the big sun and the colour in the sky is lovely. I also like the use of the silhouetted piece of land to add some more interest to the image.

Nice strong image. Cannot help but wonder how it would look in pano with the top and bottom cut off an a small black boarder added.

Really like the shimmer on the outline of the sun here. Adds a nice feel to the image.

Works much better as a pano. Well maintained sun (in terms of light).
