Idaho Panhandle: After the Storms of Monday, August 4, 2025 [View all]

Sony A7-R4 mirrorless camera with a Zeiss-Batis 18mm/f2.8 wide-angle lens. Shot from my fire lookout tower on 8000 foot peak. The sun is setting behind me, and there is a light rain falling between me and the next peak over. The shadow of my mountain can be seen on the side of the neighboring peak.

My lens wasn't wide enough for the outer arc (which is dimmer, and a mirror image) Bo Zarts Aug 2025 #26
