Thanks. It certainly is - with or without the Chihuly exhibit!

The freezing weather outside reminds me how nice this visit was this past summer. Downloads look better.

My first guess would be lens flare. Slight flare in lower left. Were you using a filter on the lens? This could be a cause.
Sony850 - you might be right, but it seems too intense an effect to be lens flare and the flare you cite is circular.

Oh, come on guys. It is the same reason the Sun looks red at sun set and sun rise. The light is bend going thru the "extra" atmosphere at such an angle. The air acts like a lens or prism and "bends" the light. And the Sun light is so much dimmed at these positions that you can safely photograph it and look at is for a bit. And smog adds to some of the effect as a "colored filter".
lamiaceae - you are right about the extra atmosphere but the sun is usually squashed horizontally at sunset not vertically as in the first photo. You can actually see part of the round disk protruding from the side of the oval.

You are correct about the distortion of the sun at lower positions in the sky. I only saw the first image and thought the poster was refering to the distortion in that shot.
Alberio - I am only asking about the first shot...the second is a "normal" example.
Thanks for your replies.

First post...love all the advice and discussion here!
I am hoping someone can explain why the sun disk in this photo is oval. I have a series of these with the oval in different places in the image.
Shot with Nikon D70s 80-200 f/2.8D ED @ 80mm ISO 500 1/4000 f/5.6
Subsequent photos show that sensor appears to be OK...no burned out spots. (second image taken about 10 minutes later)
I have never seen this before. Any ideas?
Thanks!
