A SUN PILLAR IS A VERTICAL SHAFT OF LIGHT EXTENDING UPWARD OR DOWNWARD

FROM THE SUN. USUALLY SEEN AT SUNRISE OR SUNSET, SUN PILLARS FORM WHEN

SUNLIGHT REFLECTS OFF OF ICE CRYSTALS ASSOCIATED WITH CLOUDS, ICE FOG,

SNOW VIRGA, BLOWING SNOW OR DIAMOND DUST.

THIS IS AN UPPER SUN PILLAR (PILLAR ABOVE THE SUN).

ON THIS DAY IT WAS SNOWING BETWEEN AMARILLO, TX AND US.

THESE ARE SCANNED 35MM PRINTS.

WASN’T SURE HOW LONG IT WOULD LAST SO I SHOT IT FROM THE BACKYARD.

MOON PILLARS CAN APPEAR IN THE SAME FASHION AS SUN PILLARS.
