About this image

Due to one in a series of messups with the eclipse I missed the Diamond Ring at both ends. But perhaps it should be The Amber Ring anyway. I was late with this image and also the focus has softened but its a fair impression of how it looked as the Sun set into trees on a distant wooded ridge.

Really rather lovely.
