This is one of two full panoramas I took on this night. I took two because I was sure that the unbelievably strong wind at my back had a good chance of ruining the first so to hedge my bets I took another one. I still have yet to post the first.

Sugarloaf Rock is a popular coastal attraction near Dunsborough in the south west of Western Australia, about 200km south of Perth. The foreground was taken as the moon was setting below the horizon...so no, that's not the sun ;-)
