EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Setting Sun" captures the breathtaking beauty of a sunset through a stunning montage of images taken at a rapid rate. The composite image showcases the mesmerizing display of colored rays that appear over the clouds as the sun gracefully sets on the horizon. These vibrant hues are a result of atmospheric refraction, an optical phenomenon caused by the bending of light as it passes through Earth's atmosphere. In this picturesque scene, dark and cloudy skies serve as a dramatic backdrop for nature's own light show. The evening sky is transformed into an ethereal canvas where physics and art intertwine seamlessly. Through careful observation and skillful photography, Science Photo Library has immortalized this fleeting moment in time. The refracted colors dance across the clouds, creating an otherworldly spectacle that evokes awe and wonder in all who gaze upon it. This visual masterpiece serves as a reminder of our planet's intricate physical processes and its ability to create moments of sheer beauty. With this print from Science Photo Library, one can bring home not only a work of art but also a deeper understanding and appreciation for the wonders that exist within our natural world.
