Roadside pillar of light at sunrise
A sun pillar-like stream of light rises from the horizon north of Denver, Colorado. (Tony’s Takes)

Oh, how I am kicking myself for not being prepared for this. I wasn’t expecting much in the way of a cool sunrise yesterday so I didn’t plan on being anywhere appropriate.

As I was driving to my photo destination, I quickly saw that was a mistake. To the east was a beautiful show with a sun pillar-like shaft of light shooting vertically.

I did the best I could, stopping just off I-25 north of Denver and quickly finding a place to stop. The foreground wasn’t ideal but my goodness, what a beautiful show in the sky.
