Douglas, Alastair, and Jayanand,

Thanks for looking.  Douglas, nice shot from your archives.  I remember 
getting a few sunsets with an Exakta from that same timeframe.

Yes, Alastair, the colors are real.  They had a little help from PS with 
levels, contrast, and slight sharpening to get it to look like what I saw 
when I shot it.  The light was changing fast, and the "keeper" was the first 
shot of five or six.
