Yes it was just a bit before sunset, and the storm had passed. The sun was
directly behind me. I was really surprised though how long it lasted. I
almost got tired of taking pictures of it, whereas normally you'd be lucky
to get one or two photos.

Funny about the perspective, no one I've shown it to here even notices it
until I point it out. Even then they kind of look at me strange for
mentioning it. The wires and poles are aggravating, but no seems bothered by
them either, except me. I knew they were going to look bad when I took the
pictures, but there was no way to work around them.
