I had a "WTH" moment this evening...
While taking the "sunset on the ridge" photo this evening (with a heavy haze too), I zoomed in on a photo on the back of the camera and said "WTH, are those SUNSPOTS?"
So, after the photo session I checked a live sunspot website and sure enough, SUNSPOTS!
Look closely and you'll see ALL of them!
(I'm telling ya, me and my little Nikon camera have WAAAAAY too much fun together!)..... Cue the song, "Kodachrome" 🎶🎶

Great shot. The silhouette of the trees really adds to the composition.

Great Catch!
The Sun looks like it is cooling off as it sinks into the trees.
Que the music:

What lens were you using? I'm hoping to get good photos with my new RF lens of the 2023 and 2024 Solar Eclipses

What a great photograph of the sun and setting. A wall hanger for sure.
I have found the haze, and sometimes smoke from wildfires, offers some unique photo opportunities as the sun sets. Keep enjoying the "adventure."
