A real #sunset treat on Fri 20 Mar '26, a #SunPillar + #UpperTangentArc! Tangent arcs change shape dramatically with changing sun altitude so this was a deep V-shape that was sunset pink colour. Photos taken from #Oxfordshire, UK with a #Fairphone4 mobile phone camera #AtmosphericOptics

I took this pic with the Canon PowerShot SX20, believe it or not. f/5, 1/200s, ISO-80, 43mm. You can see it's winter; there's snow on the ground and buildings. I saw light pillars several times while living in Wisconsin. The winters are long and kind of sucky, but there is the occasional bright spot... like this one. :)

Light pillars are an optical phenomenon in which a vertical beam of light appears to extend above and/or below a light source, caused by the reflection of light off tiny, flat ice crystals suspended in the atmosphere.

A dark landscape of fields and trees is witness to a streak of orange light rising vertically from the cloud filtered sun. Wedges of dark gray clouds crowd the orange region around the rising sun with some soft gray clouds obscure a pale blue sky with a slightly green cast.
Sun pillar at dawn. A nice winter treat as the sun rose yesterday morning. #sunrise #clouds #sunpillar #nature #ohio
This is a capture from Saturday’s sunrise. This is a sun pillar, created by the ice particles in the atmosphere. This typically occurs when the air is extremely cold. What a spectacular image. #sunrise #sunpillar #saturday
Seascape with spectacular sunset colours: vibrant red, orange, and pink cotton candy clouds fill the sky A narrow column of light rises from the setting sun on the horizon. Waves roll onto a dark, pebbled beach in the foreground.

A cloudy cirrus cloud filled sky mixed with airplane contrails. There is a deep pink pillar going around 90 degrees into the air.
90 degrees upwards. Cirrus clouds and airplane contrails partying in the sky. The #sun let go a #SunPillar #SkyScape #UrbanGaze #atmosphere #Photography #WaterVapor is a #GreenHouseGas #Climate
Reasonably clear #sunset again at #Greatstone with a faint #sunpillar tonight in the second photo, otherwise more arty shots 🌞 #photography #ukweather #stormhour #kent
A stunning sunset featuring a vibrant sun pillar extending upwards from the horizon. The pillar is created by the reflection of sunlight off falling ice crystals in the high-level clouds, a breathtaking natural phenomenon. The fiery orange and red hues of the sky contrast beautifully with the silhouetted landscape and trees in the foreground.

Showy Sunset
Little did I know that what we saw last night was a sun pillar. Dan and I were just enjoying the colorful night sky. Next time I'll know.
Now enough procrastinating and off to overhaul my moon story.

Just after sunset this evening there was a sun pillar, which I believe is a phenomenon where ice crystals high in the atmosphere reflect light from the sun.

The Sun one evening at sunset. The clouds were turned a bright yellow golden colour. A sun pillar is shooting 90 degrees straight up into the sky.
It’s a beam me up kind of day #SunPillar #Sun #abstract #Photography #Sunlight
Sunset on a waterfront, with the masts of sailboats docked at a pier and some trees occupying the foreground. The Statue of Liberty is a tiny figure in the distance. The sun, low on the horizon, projects a glowing beam up into the clouds, which are dramatically lit in shades of orange, blue and gray.
Sunset on the Brooklyn waterfront, from last November. I was pleased to have captured a (rare?) sun pillar on this one.

A silhouette of trees with the orange sun on the horizon behind them. A vertical line of light coming from the sun reaches the sky.
