A Little Ray of Sunshine


Sometimes the best shows aren't on the television.  This light display was photographed from the living room window and despite being spectacular, it only lasted for a few minutes.  The rays converging on the horizon are anticrepuscular rays.  They are sun's rays which have travelled across the sphere of the atmosphere and they disappear at the antisolar point; the point on the horizon directly opposite the sun.
