Yes, but it is so huge that you can sort of ignore everything else and just be amazed by it. I don't think it would photograph very well though. Even the photo that Jim posted, taken at the Grand Canyon, has some distortion in it.

I guess I was wondering if it's so close to the horizon that the atmosphere distorts it a lot. Thanks, Joe
