Awesome work. You can feel the blazing heat, which is a conundrum, given that the sun appears to be setting behind the mountain. #1497162Michael McCook November 08, 2012
Haha! Thanks Michelle. Yes, it is not technically correct, especially since the shadows are going the wrong direction. Unfortunately there were no clouds in the sky that evening. Perhaps I should search my archives to find something more fitting. :) #10409705Debra R. Harder March 01, 2013

Unavailable EXIF: If there is no other information but 'Unavailable' in the EXIF (meaning no EXIF data exists with the photo), the 'Unavailable' blurb is not displayed. If there is any info, it shows. Many photos have the EXIF stripped out when people modify the image and resave it, before uploading.
