Description

On the second night of a two night visit to Lion's Head on the Bruce Peninsula, we were rewarded with a lovely sunset. By this point, the sun was below the horizon yet you can see a shaft of light extending up from the sun. A little online research turned up the following description of something called a "sun pillar".

"A sun pillar is a vertical shaft of light extending upward or downward from the sun. Typically seen during sunrise or sunset, sun pillars form when sunlight reflects off the surfaces of falling ice crystals associated with thin, high-level clouds (like cirrostratus clouds)."
