ENTER! Miscellaneous Avatar Contest: Contest of the Rising Sun

[Timelord79 (he/him)]

I remember we had a contest about the moon some time back.
This round is all about the greater of the two lights.

Show us what you can come up with for the sun.

You can interpret that how you like, it just has to feature the star of our own solar system and not be from movies, tv shows or other fictional media.

Usual avatar rules apply.

I leave it open till the end of the week.

Here is my opening entry:

Solar flare.

 

[auntiehill]

Look out! The sun is crashing!

 

[Kai "the spy"]

Yeah, I wouldn't vote for it, either.

 

[Avro Arrow]

- The sun as imaged by the Solar Dynamics Observatory (I believe this is AIA 171, but don't remember for sure)

 

[Ghost07]

Oh! These are nice...I'm waiting to see a perfect sunrise...

 

[BigJake]

 

[RevdKathy]

Well, now I’m torn. I was going to post this:

Which I took the other morning during the eclipse. But Kai already covered the eclipse, which leaves me choosing between these two:

Sunset over the Nile or

Sunset at Land’s End.

Opinions?

 

[Ghost07]

I like sunset at land's end...

 

[BigJake]

The Nile one is gorgeous.

 

[auntiehill]

I like the eclipse. So, I guess we're no help.

 

[Bob The Skutter]

Just to add to the confusion...

Sunset in Fuerteventura

Sunrise in Fuerteventura


Sun from a Sunbed in Fuerteventura

 

[Ghost07]

I love sunsets...

Out of the two sunset ones, I like Land's End the best. But I really like the eclipse one too.

Just to add to the confusion...

Sunset in Fuerteventura

Sunrise in Fuerteventura


Sun from a Sunbed in Fuerteventura

Out of those three, I think I like the sunset one the best.

I can already tell this one's going to be a difficult vote!

 

[auntiehill]

I like both sunrise and sunset but I think the sunset one shows off the sun a little better.

 

[Saga]

 

[Timelord79 (he/him)]

Nice! A clear voting candidate for me.

 

[Locutus of Bored]

Sunrise from the ISS:

 

[BigJake]

^ Oooh, nice one.

 

[Owain Taggart]

Took this one a few months ago while actually trying to photograph a partial eclipse. The eclipse shots didn't turn out, but I was quite pleased with how rich the sunset looked:

 

[auntiehill]

^Lovely!
