MacKerricher State Park Sunset | Fort Bragg CA

As Old Sol slid into the Pacific, he stretched and distorted into a spinning top. The final distortion resembled a carrot wearing a hat. Not the romantic orb against North Coast scenery we planned to capture but, nevertheless, a unique display.

Grace captured the same sunset distortion as I did. The distortion was fleeting, lasting only a few seconds.
