The road tracking through this stunning 360 degree
view crosses a remote mountain area of Jämtland, Sweden,
planet Earth.
A 3x8 mosaic of still images, the panorama was taken
on May 3rd from a small drone 200 meters above the ground.
The scene records the warm light of the Sun setting in
the northwest and the planet's dark shadow rising in the southeast.
A small sun pillar
gives away the Sun's position just below the horizon while the pinkish
anti-twilight arch or
belt of Venus outlines Earth's shadow.
In the middle of the remarkably clear sky, the First Quarter Moon is
visible above the mountains, its half illuminated disk separating
shadowrise and sunset.
A range of exposures was used to cover the large difference in
sky brightness.
The tallest peak left of the sunset is
Storsnasen,
some 1400 meters above sea level.
