Thanks from me h20man!
BTW when I posted the Lands End Sunset this morning I forgot to mention that the birds standing on the far rock next to the sun are all Brown Pelicans and they are all looking at the sunset! It's a good place to watch the sun disappear beneath the horizion and the Pelican seems to enjoy it as much as humans do.

This one is difficult to scan, and to print either, Red filter 25A, SA90/8, Arca Swiss F.
IN the print the pinewood forest is visible on the mountains with detail that is lost here.

I would like to point out that it is extremely dangerous to photograph the sun. When the sun is very close to the horizion, as it is in this image , it is safe to glance at it for a second at max, but never - ever look at it directly with optics without a suitable filter. In this case I used a wide angle lens which did not magnify the scene and a B+W polarizer for eye insurance and limited my visual inspection to a fraction of a second. The energy of the sun, especially that which transmitted through an optical lens, is capble of cooking the human eye like a hard-boiled egg in a fraction of a second.
I metered off the corona.

Brian, what did you use to colour it? Pencils?
