La Silla sunset

The ESO La Silla Observatory seen from a distance to the North. The mountain is dominated by the huge dome of the 3.6m telescope, next to it, on the other side of the saddle-like feature that gives its name to the mountain, the NTT. To the right, all the other domes follow, with finally the hotel and support buildings.
