This image has been shrunk to 18% of original linear size and compressed for this webpage.

The original image was 1600x1200 pixels which represents 1.92 mega-pixels - requiring 5.76 megabytes before compression by the A40 digital camera.

This particular image downloaded from the A40 as a 844,301 byte jpeg file - which is much too large a file size for webpage use.

The picture was taken 15:45 BST late October in Surrey England - looking due south catching the late low sun - and at maximum optical zoom. Electric power cables can be seen against the sky. 		shrunk to 18%
This lower picture is the part of the top image marked by the green rectangle - as originally downloaded from the A40 before shrinking and compression.

This image is stored in the jpeg format with a Compression Factor of 1 to preserve the original quality as downloaded from the A40. The far ridge is about 8 miles distant.
