My judgement of the sunrise to be on this day last weekend was clearly off or I would have ensured I was in a good position to capture it. Instead, I found myself with a sea of suburbia and its houses between the horizon and I. So, here you go, just the clouds, no McMansions as I cropped them out. ? It really was a pretty scene (sans the houses) with the sun pillar topping it off. Sun pillars most often appear at sunrise and sunset showing as a shaft of light emanating from the sun. Ice crystals falling reflect the sun’s rays creating the effect.
