 Sunset Observed from Mount Chasseral, Switzerland

   August 31, 2020

    Chasseral

   Photographer:  Arnaud Besancon
   Summary Author:  Arnaud Besancon

   Shown above is a captivating  sunset scene I observed earlier this
   summer from Mount  Chasseral, Switzerland (5,269 ft or 1,606 m). The
   camera is facing southeast.  Lake Neuchâtel is at lower right. The
   ambiance created by the interplay of  clouds,  shadows and fading
   light was fantastic. At the top, the triangular shadow of Mount
   Chasseral can be seen cast upon the cloud deck. Note the  rainbow
   fragment at the lower right-center. Photo taken on July 1, 2020.

   Photo Details: 5D3 camera; 135 mm; F11; ISO 100; 1/15 second exposure
   time.
