23rd Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Travel
Dusk, Wires, & a Setting Sun Produce an Illusion: the Sun, a Large Orb, Falling Away Over a Harbor
My tour bus drove me to Elmina Castle and an old wooden boat harbor. Attempting to photograph the beautiful setting sun, I stood still and took this image. The sun suddenly looked like a huge orb and appeared to rise and fall out of the sky as evidenced by the sun's position almost out of the photograph.
