This composite photo is made by superimposing 6 consecutive sunset photos with the software Startrails.

Image Details:

The lighthouse on Cape Fugui, the northernmost point on Taiwan Island, is located at latitude 25.30 degrees north. From early April to mid-May each year, if you can find the right spot, you can see a very special phenomenon at sunset where the sun passes directly over the lighthouse. On the evening of May 2nd, I was very lucky to witness and record this special phenomenon from a bay 2.64 kilometers away from the lighthouse. Each sun in the photo is separated by about 1 minute, and the entire process took about 6 minutes.
