    heh, self portrait number1? I inadvertently have a self portrait of myself reflecting back off some car parts at one of the car shows that is more NORMAL, I do enjoy looking at that photo but the size difference in the moon and the angle of light on it's posterior is just odd./

    You know me...I HAVE to know....according to Urban Legends
    and Hoax-Slayer
    Although the above image has been circulating as a "photograph" of "sunset at the North Pole", it is a purely digital creation. As far as we know it is a work entitled "Hideaway" produced by a 22-year-old German astrophysics student named Inga Nielson using Terragin scenery rendering software.

    "Hideaway" was featured as the NASA'S Astronomy Picture of the Day (APOD) for the 20th June 2006. (good info here by the way)

    Inga Nielsen has also published a news update about how the artwork gained its urban legend status. According to the artist, someone "cut out my name, called the image "Sunset at the north pole" and told everyone it was a photograph."
    But it IS gorgeous!
