Red Cross
Japan, on Dec 15, 2003

Dec 15 Sunrise from Kobe, Japan.

The Monster Sun that creates the second reflection on the water can be seen in the second photos, at 5 o'clock to the Sun. This presence also creates the Wing flares in the first photo, and the Red Cross effect, a skewing of the normal horizontal/vertical line flares. Note the refection of the Monster Sun, where below the Sun in the sky, it above the Sun in the reflection, the correct reflection position! Not a lens flare!
