Crepuscular rays (also known as Sun rays) in atmospheric optics, are rays of sunlight that appear to radiate from the point in the sky where the sun is located. These rays, which stream through gaps in clouds (particularly stratocumulus) or between other objects, are columns of sunlit air separated by darker cloud-shadowed regions. Despite seeming to converge at a point, the rays are in fact near-parallel shafts of sunlight, and their apparent convergence is a perspective effect (similar, for example, to the way that parallel railway lines seem to converge at a point in the distance).
The name comes from their frequent occurrences during twilight hours (those around dawn and dusk), when the contrasts between light and dark are the most obvious. Crepuscular comes from the Latin word "crepusculum", meaning twilight.

Een werkelijk prachtig gebouw, zeker kijkend naar het ontwerp, de bouwmethoden en gebruikte materialen. De koepel is de enige bron van licht in het gebouw, symbolisch voor hoe de zon de bron is alle licht op aarde.
Hier een klein stukje over de bouw/constructie: www.architectenweb.nl/aweb/archipedia/archipedia.asp?ID=396
Massively impressive, just looking at the construction, building methodes and materials.
The oculus is the source of all light in the building, symbolic of how the sun is the source of all light on earth.

Hope your week is off to a bright and sunny start! This sunflower is growing under my birdfeeder from one of the many seeds the birds dropped. It might be the only sunshine we'll see here today :-)
"Ray of Hope:" When I first started shooting the rainbow, it was still raining over me quite a bit and the skies still looked dark and stormy. This colorful ray seemed to be a wonderful sign of hope in that otherwise foreboding sky.
I've been feeling unwell for over a week and finally went to the doctor yesterday for some antibiotics as I have a chest infection. I woke up this morning very wheezy and cough cough coughing away. I was feeling very sorry for myself when Ray, who had been sleeping on the bed, came up to me and snuggled right up to my face and gave me a big lick on my chin. He has never done this before and I can't tell you how nice it was to be comforted in this way.
Ray has a freckle on his lip which is very visible here
Taken during Ray Lowe’s fantastic Environmental Portrait Course, along with wonderful model Lucy, which was held at the old Grade II listed Briggens House Hotel near Stanstead Abbots.
Don't want to blow their cover, but here is a picture I took of Karin and (some of) the guys from Fever Ray
This Typical and of course Beautiful type Cloud Rays I have seen in the way of Srishailam to Hyderabad. No extra processing done for this capture. The temperature was too Hot at that time and the weather was dry. I forgot the name of the place where the bus was stopped after crossing Srishailam Hills. Another Interesting Bird I have seen there, in my next upload you will see that Bird.
