The setting Sun descending into a fog bank on a rural highway looking due west, on the evening of the vernal equinox, March 20, 2023. So the Sun is setting due west. The fog dims and reddens the Sun, illustrating atmospheric absorption. This was on Highway 561 in southern Alberta. This is a single exposure with the RF100-400mm lens at 165mm on the Canon R5. Autofocused on the Sun.
