Looking westward, the silhouette of Pine Mountain blocks the late autumn sunset over Payne Gap as the setting sun illuminates Altocumulus stratiformis perlucidus clouds in the evening sky above Eastern Kentucky.

"The cinema and the photo-eye must create their own point of view, and use it. They must expand – not imitate – the ordinary optical radius of the human eye." – Ossip Brik [1888-1945]

Literally following Brik’s proposition this landscape/sunset, captured through a 14mm lens, certainly presents an image broader than the field of vision for the normal human eye.
