Here is a photo of a stunning Sun Pillar captured in Hanover, Ontario, just after sunset on February 25, 2012.Sun Pillars occur typically during sunrise or sunset; when sunlight is reflected off the surface of falling ice crystals associated with thin high-level clouds, like Cirrostratus clouds.The crystals are hexagonal, plate-like crystals and as they fall they are forced into a horizontal orientation due to resistance from air.The result is the reflection of this beautiful pillar of light.-JeanPhoto courtesy of Judi Smelko -- source link
