low sun
Posted by akarui (Kagoshima, Japan) on 9 September 2008 in Transportation.
Half an hour later the sun is getting very low and the yellow reflections getting bigger. The picture was taken just below the horizon and the sun is not in the picture.
Can you see the boat between 2 shadows of clouds? it gives an idea that we were high...
Thank you very much for all your comments.
You can see the same picture in bigger size and better resolution on my new blog.

Amazing shot! I'm glad you pointed out the boat, it really does help figuring out how high you were.

vraiment une très belle photo!
Comme sur celle du 6 on a l'impression de relief donné par les ombres des nuages sur la mer au premier plan.
C'est beau, harmonieux, calme et le tout avec une superbe lumière.

OH wow, just beautiful. Thanks for pointing out the boat. I can look out a airplane window for hours and hours non-stops. When I fly from L.A. to Taipei, I would set an alarm on my cellphone so I can wake up when we're above Japan. What's like to be down there? is something I always ask myself.

Moins de nuages sur celle-ci, juste suffisamment pour créer un beau relief, et plus de place aux jolies couleurs du soleil couchant. Très harmonieux.
