Here's the third in my series of four sunset images from Laban Rata, Mount Kinabalu, taken during my trek up the mountain in August 1989.
What struck me as the sun descended was the it seemed to set twice – as though there were parallel horizons. That's most evident in the photo below. My only guess here is that I'm above some form of atmospheric boundary. If you look at the two previous photos, here and here, you can clearly see an atmospheric haze below me. My thought here is that the top horizon is that atmospheric boundary and the lower horizon, the one providing the flat line beneath the sun is the ocean.
The reds, yellows and oranges are reflected off the clouds higher in the atmosphere. It's as though the lower layer of the atmosphere is acting as a wave guide.
