The Light of the Shadows

Scenes after the storm on 24.07.2026. The anti-crepuscular rays. This atmospheric optical phenomenon appears opposite from the Sun and these rays seem to converge in the anti-solar point, anthelion, behind mt. Imittos in this particular case.

 

These rays are the creation of obstacles (e.g. clouds) to the sunlight. They are parallel but seem to converge in a point (anthelion) due to our perspective (it is the same with the train's rails that seem to converge far away).
