Cruising around the Svalbard Archipelago gives you plenty of time to observe "odd" scenery, and strange occurrences such as the sun rising at
20.30 in the "evening".

That must have been special to watch. Spectacular colors. Beautiful tones too. The only think I'm wondering (if I may): did you increase clarity (in LR) because there is a little halo-effect in the reds in the middle. Or could it be sRGB conversion. Just curious.

That is a very impressive sun pillar. Must have been awesome in person.

Thanks everybody for your comments, much appreciated

Peter,
I do not use LR , I have PS mainly because I originally got it free when I bought my first Digital Camera many years ago, the upgrades have cost me a pretty penny though.
Clarity is available IN PS 6 but I rarely use it, any halo here is probably caused by the weird light?
