    Wow nice colours :lol: excellent pics WSE :unsure:

    Just looked up what a sun pillar is and I am sure that it was one.

    Sun Pillars

    vertical shafts of light

    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).
