7 HDRI's combined with Picturenaut 3.2 and assembled to a panorama with PTGui 11.31 Pro, transformations in HDRShop and Pano2VR 6.1.11 64-bit, corrections in Photoshop.
NOTE: The name is because we had thick Sahara dust in the atmosphere, hence the yellow haze. The day before it was stronger. Opposite the sun the Moon is faintly visible (zoom in).
