I guess the name is a pun on the mushroom cloud that is created when an atomic bomb detonates. I think that is kind of what this picture looks like. There was no editing at all, other than some levels adjustments and removing dust remnants. This is what happens about 2 seconds after the whole sun disappears behind the horizon. I got pictures of little slivers of the sun as it went behind pikes peak, and i took this right when it disappeared. Ya know in the Pirates of the Caribbean III: At World's End? When the sun goes behind the horizon and theres that big green plume-lightning deal? well this was like that. only much cooler since it was real. aywy siqmgu *replaces batteries in keyboard* ah there we go, it was skipping keys there for a second... now where was i? oh right, so i spent about 3 hours on top of the huge hill behind CSCS and UCCS today, i hiked all over it. it was great. I took about 500 pictures, so ill try to post more in the days to come. assuming i don't take even better pictures.

Oh my gosh! That is so amazing. I didn't know that the sun actually did that. And the black silhouette of the mountain in conrast to the glowing plume of light is really gorgeous! Amazing! :)
