From December 16, 2006 to January 14, 2007, Botany Photo of the Day is going to be featuring photo abstracts posted with little or no scientific commentary. If abstracts aren't to your taste, please consider revisiting the site in mid-January. – Daniel

This image was photographed 35 minutes after this one of Lower Nicola Valley. Although the sky and earth were both taken with the same press of the shutter button, they were each processed differently – the digital equivalent to using a graduated neutral density filter while taking the image. The original photograph was also taken in infrared, then converted to black and white.
