Astronomical Refraction
Why Astronomical Refraction for a title? The sun is already completely below the horizon by the time it appears to just touch the horizon. The dark clouds that you see across the face of the sun are most likely below the horizon too. This is Astronomical Refraction or the bending of light as it passes a greater distance through the earth's atmosphere when the sun is low in the sky.
This picture of a Sunset at Ocean Shores, Washington has been altered to black out the hazy muddy looking sky and adjusted to bring out the details of the water.
