A spectacular bolt of scarlet red light beams straight up into the night sky at sunset. Canon EOS Digital Rebel XTi / Shooting Date/Time 17 September 2007 20:11:42 / Tv( Shutter Speed ) 1/100 / Av( Aperture Value ) 6.3 / ISO Speed 400 / Lens EF28-135mm f/3.5-5.6 IS USM / Focal Length 65.0 mm “Reds, yellows and golds arise because the air itself, small dust and aerosol particles smaller than the wavelengths of visible light, ‘Rayleigh scatterers’, scatter short wavelength blue and green rays much more strongly than longer wavelength yellow and red. The remaining direct unscattered light is dimmed but relatively enriched in reds and yellows. Absorption of specific green and blue wavelengths by ozone and water vapour molecules redden the light further. The sunset rays are sometimes reflected back and forth between clouds and the ground. All this goes to makes a spectacle seemingly painted with every colour and shade of the palette. Pillars are created by reflections from approximately horizontal crystal faces but the side faces of columns are inclined at all angles. The key is that the crystals have orderly orientations – they do not tumble. A ‘singly oriented column’ drifts with its long axis nearly horizontal and has two rotational freedoms. Its long axis can point in all azimuthal, NSEW, directions. The crystal adopts all rotational positions around the long axis.” 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 such as cirrostratus. 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. ~ Hyper Physics Atmospheric Optics
A picture taken during an evening stroll around the spa town of Wiesbaden, Germany. I tried to capture the classical feel that pillars convey.
