A surprise result

The sun was setting behind the western skyline of Tel Aviv, about to sink into the Mediterranean Sea. I stretched my arm way out to the right over a friend's seventh floor balcony rail, pressed the button, and apparently captured about half of the sun.
Doesn't the photo look like someone took a bite out of the wall?!
Is this what photographers call lens flare?

  15. Does sort of look like there's a bite in the wall. Great capture. Almost surreal with the cloud motion causing the buildings to look distorted.

  16. This is stunning! I like the rays, the tones and contrasts, and the perspective.

  17. Fun capture - the view was certainly much better looking westward from Tel Aviv today than eastward as I did.

  18. Dina: What a beautiful sunset on the city. You ended up with a great capture without falling.

    Thanks for your comments. God works in strange ways. Without the silly fainting incident, I would have been walking around with the chance of a heart attack.
