Here in Mutare, Zimbabwe, we saw a magnificent radiant sunset on January 11, with cloud shadows and crepuscular rays, that developed around a pareidolic cloud.
The cloud assumed the shape of a birdlike creature, which, in contrast to Icarus, appeared to fly away from the sun.
The pictures were taken at various magnifications using my Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ60 compact camera in intelligent auto mode.
