1. This is a wonderful shot Lynette!!
   It is rare to get glimpse of sun rays in this shape.

   1. Thank you very much Deeksha. Yes, that sun ray was a very unusual one. So beautiful.

2. How lovely!

   1. Thank you! 🙂

3. That’s something different. It’s as if the sun fell over the edge of the flat earth and is shining straight up.

   1. Yes, agreed. It’s certainly something I hadn’t seen before. There may have been some cloud or mist causing this appearance; whatever the cause, it was really gorgeous!

      1. A lucky shot. Good timing.

         1. Yes, it was lucky!

4. Oh yah! There totally is a vertical sun ray. Looks beautiful. Great capture!

   1. Thank you very much. 🙂 Yes, it was so unusual and beautiful!

5. The book I have (Rainbows, Halos, and Glories by Robert Greenler) calls these “sun pillars” and says they are a result of reflection from the surfaces of flat-plate crystals of ice aligned in the atmosphere. Nice job noticing and taking the photo.

   1. Thank you very much. I was sure it was caused by ice crystals of some kind. Thank you for the explanation – much appreciated.

6. Magnificent snap!

   1. Thank you very much. 🙂
