It certainly has an unusual appeal April, and you composed it well. Thank you for posting. PAUL

Default Simply awesome
I simply love this shot. When I read the title " You may need sunglasses to view this one!!"... I never thought it could really be that bright.
What makes this photo even more special is that it is different in a way that many people tend to take photos of sun like the ones you see of sunsets and sunrises.
This, I like it.
Thank you for sharing with us.
