October 17, 2017 sunset by Helio C. Vital in Saquarema, Brazil. Notice the sun appears flattened, an effect of refraction.
Helio C. Vital wrote to EarthSky:
Here are photos of today´s sunset (October 17) at 6:55 p.m., seen from Saquarema, as the spring sun heading back to the south is almost setting over the Atlantic, highlighting the landscape along the coastline.
A Sony Cyber-Shot DSC HX300 camera was used and Photoscape was run to make the animation.
Thank you, Helio!
