A scene you will probably never get to see, so take a moment and enjoy God at work at the North Pole.
This is the sunset at the North Pole with the moon at its closest point.
And, you also see the sun below the moon.
An amazing photo and not one easily duplicated.

It is quite possibe to obtain that type of effect with the correct lenses. Whether real or fake, it is still a beautiful photo. :)

Well its certainly not AT the North Pole - its all ice up there. Far too much water around. Nice pic though whatever

Yep, nice pic. But it IS a fake. They are roughly the same relative sizes - otherwise we wouldn't get eclipses of the annular variety.
