Light Bends.

Oh look, the building is melting.... or am I experiencing a flashback?
Ni * Sin(Ai) = Nr * Sin(Ar)

where:
Ni is the refractive index of the medium the light is leaving,
Ai is the incident angle between the light ray and the normal to the meduim to medium interface,
Nr is the refractive index of the medium the light is entering,
Ar is the refractive angle between the light ray and the normal to the meduim to medium interface.

Sunset.

The sun sets behind Lone Mountain into the Pacific.
I was leaving my house when I glanced out the window and saw this scene. I rushed to get my
camera and managed to capture the sun saying goodnight.
