You can see bright lights on both sides of the sun. These are called sundogs, and are formed when sunlight is refracted through the ice crystals in the cirrus clouds high in the atmosphere. Derek has a great sundog picture from this winter where the sundogs complete a full halo around the sun. This picture is better because I didn't have to brave -20 degree temperatures to take the photo.
This is my favourite sunset photo of the hundreds that I took, just because of the different colours in the sky. The dark cloud offers a great contrast with the blue sky and cirrus clouds behind it.
I'm playing with the structures on the ship here to frame the sun as it is setting.
