Apart from dealing with the perspective distortion, I haven't Photoshopped this very much. The low winter sun and the curious cloud formation made this something I had to take, although I concede that it looks odd. The contrast between the big soft folds of the clouds and the precise lines of the comparatively small buildings makes it an interesting image, rather than a beautiful one.
It is always dangerous to look at the sunset and not turn around and see what is behind you.
The sentence 'It's behind you!' is taken from British pantomime tradition, when the hero or heroine is warned by shouts from the audience that something or someone evil is creeping up behind them - wolves, crocodiles fall into that category.
