Uh huh!

You thought I'd forgotten? Nope.

Sun Pillar

A sun pillar is a vertical shaft of light that can extend upwards from the sun or downwards, usually seen at sunset or sunrise.

A Moab Sunset

Sun pillars form when sunlight reflects off the surfaces of falling ice crystals associated with thin, high-level clouds (like cirrostratus clouds). The hexagonal plate-like ice crystals fall with a horizontal orientation, gently rocking from side to side as they fall. When the sun is low on the horizon, an area of brightness appears in the sky above (or below) the sun as sunlight is reflected off the surfaces of these tipped ice crystals.
