1712_1932 Sun Pillar
Things I Like About Winter, Part V: Weather Phenomena.
We stopped to photograph this sun pillar on a very cold morning south of Drumheller. This winter phenomenon occurs when the sun is low on the horizon and countless billions of ice crystals are falling through the air. I would have preferred to find a spot that didn't include railroad tracks in the foreground, but we thought that we might miss it if we waited too long.
It was a moment and we seized it.
