The original image of the twilight was taken at Lake of the Woods, Canada, around midnight. To give you some idea of how faint it was, the image was a 15 second exposure. Fifteen. And barely any color came through as it was. Anyway, I decided to jazz the photo up with some manipulation (mostly because I love imagining dream worlds such as this). I'd love to live on a world with such a vista available every night, but I guess my imagination will have to suffice for now.

Beautiful image, the lighting and colouring is spot on. The reflection of the planet in the water is a classy touch. Top work.

Cheers.........

It’s a beauty. A great way to display your imagination and skill. I can’t help wondering what the gravitational pull a planet that big and close would do to us though :-) I agree with Benroy, that reflection adds the finishing touch.

There are three colours, Ten digits and seven notes, its what we do with them that’s important. Ruth Ross

Indeed a great piece of work. I don't care how long the exposure was - it's made an excellent manipulation! Nicely edited, and keep up the good work!

wow that is quite intimidating. the idea of waking up and see a huge planet drift across the sky slowly through the night is fantastic. good work!

I like your imagination, it is a very spectaculair image!
In this world you show us, I must be able to jump right off our planet and get into orbit of that big sucker up in the sky.
I'll sleep over it and if I live to tell...well, then I'll tell you about the experience of this sky ride!
Thanks!

Hope to see more like this!

Very impressive and awesome image....makes you wonder if somewhere out there something similar is a part of life to another sentient being. Excellent work.

Thats the view I used to have at my vacation home on Titan. My neighbor spoiled the view by putting up an ugly launch pad. I knew I should have stayed on the less congested Europa!

Glenn, it's a cool image BUT... if you lived on a planet with this sight in the sky every night, a number of very important things would be determining the course of your life and your planet's life: maps of your planet would be out of date within 6 months because the tremendous gravitational pull from a gas giant like this one would knead the planet like a ball of dough, causing landforms to rise and fall as much as 330 feet in one revolution around the giant (it would also be happening to you) -- this kneading would also keep volcano eruptions a constant, with pools of lava forming anywhere, filling the air with sulfur dioxide -- your planet would likely be cutting across the gas giant's magnetic lines of force, turning your home into a huge electric generator, developing hundreds of thousands of volts and millions of amperes -- and the rotation of the giant would literally peel tons of surface material off every second, filling the atmosphere with a thin ionized cloud full of radiation, all around you. If this doesn't sound feasible, it is something that happens in our solar system every day. I just described what life(?) is like on Jupiter's small moon Io, perhaps the most tormented minor planet in our solar system. If I want to see sights like this I just visit the Caedes website and see what creative people are coming up with.
