Church in the fog

I was driving along the southern coast of Iceland on the way to Vik, and I started going throw an area of lowlands. Around midnight or so, the sun was getting pretty low in the west, and it gave the sky a slight pink glow in almost every direction.

 

I shot this one at a 200mm at F/6.7. I don't often take out my zooms for landscapes, but it does provide a nice compression that gives an unexpected feel to the final photo. It's really hard to explain in words, but maybe you can sense of this framing in the final result. It just can't be done with a wide-angle lens, even if I was a lot closer.
