Hello, I was sightseeing on Palm Beach Island on Sunday, July 17, 2011. I was photographing what Estee Lauder looks at as her backyard, namely the Atlantic Ocean, at 8:23 p.m.. At the time I snapped the photo, I did not see anything in the sky. Reviewing the photos the next day I realized that what I had formerly assumed was the sun, was casting a shadow, which seemed unlikely.

After further review I realized the object was rectangular and not round. I put the photo on to my computer so that I could zoom in, and saw that it is actually four sun colored lights in a row. I researched the time of sunset for this area on that day and it said the sun had set at 8:14 p.m.. I also realized that facing East, I would never have captured a photo of the sunset anyway, which as we all know sets in the West; let alone a sunset casting a shadow. I was between The Breakers Hotel and the Estee Lauder Estate. The only sounds I heard were the ocean and some birds.

I could not definitely tell! you the distance it was or the height, because I did not see it until the review of the photograph. It is either casting a shadow or emitting beams.

I would very much appreciate you letting me know what you think of this photograph.

Thank you for your time.
