Crepuscular rays 1


[Dscf1447/Jpg]

Crepuscular rays [Glasgow UK, 2:25:00pm Mon 11 Nov 2002; FinePix4800 ZOOM digicam]

This spectacular example of crepuscular rays was seen from a train window just outside Glasgow.

Crepuscular rays are parallel, of course, and are caused by clouds casting shadows in the air. Rather more rare are anticrepuscular rays, seen converging towards the antisolar point (opposite the sun). We're keeping our eyes open.
