Who owns the copyrights to sunsets?

[gwpriester]

I sent this sunset image to a friend who lives in a sunset-challenged portion of the country. She responded that she wanted to hurry and make it her screen saver before I got wise and copyrighted the image.

Which led the the attached image.

Oh, my goodness, that is GORGEOUS! Much obliging of the Big Man to design a copyright symbol in the clouds for you [img]/infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif[/img]

Dr. Mr. Priester,

This is a cease and desist order against your use of the "circle with imbeded C" symbol. It has come to our attection that you are not in compliance with proper licensing .

We have no objection to your use of the sunset image in question although we believe the rights to that image are held by a personage whom we do not represent.

Yours with tongue-firmly-in-cheek.

TIC Inc.

Sorry Jay, that's the full digital size. The actual size is a bit larger, like about 360 degrees!

I can't honestly say that we get sunsets this grand every night. Only every other night.

Wow Gary, we get a whole lot of nice sunsets here in Ohio with a broad range of colors, but I do not believe I have ever seen one such as this! You guys get such HUGE low-altitude majestic clouds it amazes me! Great picture
