Sunset No. 3

SUNSET OVER LAKE SUPERIOR, GREEN, MICHIGAN, AUGUST 3, 2011

Pentax K-5
SMC Pentax-DA 55-300 at 190mm
1/1250 sec. f5.6
ISO 400

Looks like Jupiter or maybe Uranus, doesn't it? Nope, it's old Sol, punching through a darkling storm far in the distance over western Lake Superior. Squint at the detail photo below (click on it and it'll be a little larger) and you might able to see what appear to be sunspots on the surface. (They're not schmutz on the camera's sensor -- I checked.)
