That's an extraordinary shot, Jon. This would make a brilliant "art" print.

A fair number of people must have the opportunities preneted by constant travel and variety of location, but how many exploit it as successfully as you do?

None that I can think of.
Best wishes,

Andrew

Very good AG! Agreed with Andrew, this needs to be viewed much bigger.

Is there a slant on the horizon? It might just be an optical illusion caused by that long triangle of light on the right.

Thanks for the comments! The horizon is level, I checked it. I think it is an optical illusion.

I did this one a few months ago, but somehow I forgot about it and just came across it again while looking for another picture on my computer!

I agree with the above. I think this is terrific.

Got to agree with that. Great image
