Photos of 'Evil Sunrise' at Persian Gulf takes internet by storm, see pics

A photographer managed to capture a unique sunrise at the Persian Gulf which appeared to be two gigantic celestial 'devil horns'. Elias Chasiotis took his 'once in a lifetime' shot during a rare solar eclipse in late December when the sun was partially obscured by the moon as it passed during the eclipse. However, it was at the same time when the sun rose, and the sky was deep red. Chasiotis happened to be at the right place on the right time to have captured the 'spectacular' image. While talking to an international media outlet, it was later revealed that Chasiotis had already planned to capture the eclipse as it happened. But, he ended up getting more than just the eclipse, but the formation of 'devil horns'. The combination of the eclipse and the light-refracting mirage effects of the ocean surface gave the photographer an 'evil sunrise'. The netizens were seen amazed by the natural phenomena, and called it all 'sunning'.

Even though the light actually doe snot bend, it appears to be in this case. The effect is named after the mythical Arthurian sorceress who was famous for luring sailors into peril.
