Sunset Over the Karst Formations and River

First, a huge thank you for putting my fisherman photo at the top of TT this past week - I'm excited and honored to see it there!
I'm still working through the hundreds of photos from our China trip. This was from the sunset hike (involving what felt like millions of stone steps up the mountainside which of course was worth it for this view!). Not surprising, Junko and I - standing next to each other and sharing thoughts on settings and lenses -- have many similar images. Our shots from here differ a bit due to time of the shot and mine is taken with the lens pointing a little further down so cropping out the sun in favor of foreground. This one was stitched using 3 overlapping images in LR6 software. See Junko's image at : http://365project.org/jyokota/365/2016-11-09

How neat to see both of the views from the same place having such a different feel - this is almost surreal - love the light! Fav

I know it's pollution but the way the pollution impacts the rays taking the eye into the photo is fabulous
