I just wrote Marshall Brain and told him us LUGers would appreciate having the effect of the observer's horizon included in his site's rainbow discussions. Also I ordered a used copy of "Galen Rowell's Vision" from a cyberspace bookseller. Thanks for the tips folks. Turned out to be an interesting question resulting interesting answers. Story of my life in cyberspace. Now I have to take my afternoon nap then put my walking shoes on to participate in PAD. Got some good shots yesterday with my 135mm lens directly under the flight path into SeaTac airport with the sun just barely peaking under the very dark clouds lighting the Boeings with their flaps down and spewing their streams of unburned fuel over the surrounding... Oh Oh, I was not supposed to mention that. I am sure that those were just normal vapor trails streaming off the tips of their flaps.
