Dear Roger,

Your Mount Baker pictures are indeed a
feast for the eye.

Did Barry Barry Duell explain the physics
in his talk on the Fuji Diamond?

The sun appears "to take a bite out of"
Mount Baker and my inference is that this
is an example of Knife-Edge Diffraction
as explained by Huygens and Fresnel.

I should be interested to hear whether
this is right.  Should one expect a
slight change in colour between the sun
ABOVE the bite and IN the bite?

Very best wishes

Frank
