Interrupted Sunset

While camping at Crater Lake with my family early this month, I was shooting a picturesque sunset. All of a sudden, something took a bite out of the Sun. Out of the distant haze, there appeared a hill that was invisible until the Sun started sliding behind it

When we got home and I examined the detailed 1:1 view, I noticed that the hill had cilia-like "hairs." Of course, these were the trees on the hill's perimeter:

For some reason, the surprise interruption to a "normal" sunset progression struck my fancy -- and I had the crazy notion that some of you might like it too. :-)
