 Drone Image Over Mount Etna

   April 20, 2022

    EtnaFlySunMoon-16012022

   Photographer:  Rosario Catania

   Summary Author:  Rosario Catania

   The photo above was taken with my drone during sunset on the cold
   evening of January 16, 2022. The  Moon had already risen in the
   east, which made for a beautiful  diametrically opposed view with
   the  Sun. Splitting the two in the photo is  Mount Etna, majestic
   and white with snow. This drone photo was taken in sphere mode and was
   subsequently planarized to have a diagonal 180-degree view without
   deformation. Besides the Sun and Moon, what left me breathless was the
   sharp contrast between the dramatic sky and the Earth colored by the
   intense red of a clear and cold sunset. An emotion to share with the
   whole world.
