Wow what a shot
Nice shot James. That would be the equinox effect though, not solstice.
Easily understood error.
Love this! It happens all summer long here in Salt Lake City, Utah. The whole metro area is laid out on a south facing grid, so nearly all the bldgs face perfectly west and catch that right angle to the sun just before it dips below the horizon. The streets run parallel to latitude so the effect comes in various degrees between beautiful and blinding.
Prime viewing is when storm clouds hang low and the sun only peaks through for that 20 minutes or so just below the cloud cover and just above the horizon. The contrast of value and color is amazing!
