Yes, those are the real colors. Before sunset it is incredibly dark, with many stars clearly visible. As the sun nears the horizon, the sky lightens, turning a very deep blue, then it lightens as the sun pops above the horizon and begins to rise rapidly.
Remember, this was taken from the summit, which is about 10,000 feet above sea level. The air is incredibly clear. Here is a shot taken later in the morning, on another trip in another year. It shows Mauna Kea, on the Big Island of Hawaii, which is more than 75 air miles away. One can also see Mauna Loa, about 95 miles away. That is good visibility. http://photo.net/photodb/photo?photo_id=7843332 Dan M On Mon, Sep 15, 2008 at 7:17 PM, Mme RD <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > are those the real colours ??????? it's unbelievably beautiful .. what a > picture ! > dom > > Daniel J.
