--Nov 7Solar Halo Columns — Gate of Nations — May 16, 2015 (#0027)
This shot captures a precise moment at the Gate of Nations, where two of the massive cylindrical columns align. The sun, descending behind the capital of the foreground column, is perfectly eclipsed, radiating a powerful halo. This solar flare transforms the ancient stone, giving it an ethereal or 'angelic' appearance, highlighting the monumental scale of the site.
