A rare atmospheric phenomenon captured along the Pacific coast of Ecuador in 2008. These fiery, intense sunsets occur only once every 5–6 years, triggered by unique oceanic and climate patterns. Shot on early digital CCD-sensor cameras (Sony & Olympus) long before modern algorithmic post-processing existed. Raw, unrepeatable light, preserved from a 2008 archive into the blockchain. Photographed by Vito Maximum / Ampersand Gallery.
