Here is a tele-crop in quasi natural colors, a minute later than previous pano.

But I will delete previous pano within next days because Christoph Seger effectively disqualified it only for pleasure I guess.

Extraordinary! 
It reminds me that the "green flash" or "green ray" inspired Jules Verne for his novel Le Rayon Vert (1882) and Eric Rohmer for his film of the same title (1986). According to popular sentiment, the one who succeeds in grasping this ephemeral "soul ray" would be able to clearly recognize his own and others' feelings.

I've never seen this thing with my own eyes. So I thank you for showing us such a rare phenomenon.

@Alvise, my pleasure.
@Christoph, thx for the first comment but the second hmmmm... Anyway, days ago you explained that it is an unwritten rule not to use it like this and yet you do. Personally I think the original voting rules are 'much' better than the over-simplistic all or nothing but of course it also can easily be used to abuse. I really think the rating system as of used today should be omitted because it makes no sense. Commenting a pano is the way to do!

@Christoph, I absolutely disagree. It makes a big difference saying: "great pano but I don't like the building" as a stand alone than combining it with:" but no 4*", which 'colleagues' should only do when the pano has defects. That is why this 4* rating-only should be abolished.

That is all hypothetical. I just cannot accept the fact that someone calls the pano great and rates it equally -i.e. nothing - like a pano with defects. That just makes no sense!
If the original system is applied, many panos shouldn't reach the full 4* and one would get a more reliable distribution 'if' a series of rules are respected by everyone. However, this website is controlled by a relatively small group who rates each others panos, i.e. friendly votes. So in principle this is more or less biased. If an outsider enters the website, he/she risks to get no rating because nobody knows the person. So as a conclusion, I am sure this website would be far better without a rating system and only the possibility to comment.
