I have never heard that someone has broken his camera for showing it to sun, then i would belive it could brake if you left it to direct sunlight for like an hour. But iv seen really meny pics taken at bright summer day thats showing hard sunlight directly on the lens. You shouldnt look directly to sun with your bare eyes, so i dont think it would be good idea to look much of the sun thru the viewfinder enyways. If using live view i would really be carefull with the sun, so the sensor wont overheat.
If the manual says camera can brake from direct sunlight its mostly a safety caution, so people dont want new camera(or sue) if they leave the camera to some desert at mid day lens at the sun.
haha yeah I was going to say the same thing. I have taken quite a few pics of the sun during the summer and fall and my camera didn't break and I didn't go blind or anything

probably because I was pointing my camera at the sun for less than one second.
Anyway, very nice shot mr Gab

why don't you post the original shot? personally I prefer as little editing as possible
and I agree with mr Antichrist that it shows too much of the wall it would have been nice to see a lil bit more of the nice blue sky
