The highly reflective goggles and glasses worn by visiting German geophysicist Daniel Paranhos Zitterbart allow an interesting blend of portrait and self-portrait:
Ripples in hard ‘blue’ ice glow golden in the evening sunlight:
A beautiful 10-degree arc around the sun caused by ice crystals in the atmosphere.
Here is the panorama I promised. To my chagrin, I have discovered that using a very wide angle lens (10mm focal length) actually makes life more difficult when it comes to panoramas, so there are a couple of small glitches, but the image is still lovely. This is a view of almost 360°; the base is roughly due north and the sun due west. You’ll need to click on the image to see the full effect. Warning – large image may load slowly.
