【昨日の出会い】

大和高田での写真展からの帰り路 富雄川を北上してると西も東も面白い空♫ 東の空は反薄明光線(裏後光)。 2024年9月10日撮影

どちらもiPhone～ なぜかピンボケ撮れてて ピントしっかりより良い感じだったのでこちらで✨

Two years ago, I went grocery shopping with my dad. I remember walking out of the store, looking over to my right, towards the clouds, and being amazed at what I saw. It's beautiful. Haven't had anything like this happen to me before, nor afterwards.

Anticrepuscular Rays: A Rainbow Fan over Spain Image Credit & Copyright: Julene Eiguren

Explanation: Yes, but can your rainbow do this? Late in the day, the Sun set as usual toward the west. However, on this day, the more interesting display was 180 degrees around -- toward the east. There, not only was a rainbow visible, but an impressive display of anticrepuscular rays from the rainbow's center. In the featured image from Lekeitio in northern Spain, the Sun is behind the camera. The rainbow resulted from sunlight reflecting back from falling rain. Anticrepuscular rays result from sunlight, blocked by some clouds, going all the way around the sky, overhead, and appearing to converge on the opposite horizon -- an optical illusion. Rainbows by themselves can be exciting to see, and anticrepuscular rays a rare treat, but capturing them both together is even more unusual -- and can look both serene and surreal.

Anticrepuscular rays are optical phenomena that appear as converging beams of light on the horizon opposite to the Sun. They are similar to crepuscular rays but occur on the antisolar point due to perspective, making parallel sunlight beams seem to converge.

Anticrepuscular Rays: A Rainbow Fan over Spain

A rainbow is pictured over the sea between an island and land. A series of light rays appears to connect the horizon to the rainbow.

Anticrepuscular Rays at the Planet Festival, 2024-07-19

For some, these subtle bands of light and shadow stretched across the sky as the Sun set on July 11. Known as anticrepuscular rays, the bands are formed as a large cloud bank near the western horizon cast long shadows through the atmosphere at sunset. Due to the camera's perspective, the bands of light and shadow seem to converge toward the eastern (opposite) horizon at a point seen just above a 14th century hilltop castle near Brno, Czech Republic. In the foreground, denizens of planet Earth are enjoying the region's annual Planet Festival in the park below the Brno Observatory and Planetarium. And while crepuscular and anticrepuscular rays are a relatively common atmospheric phenomenon, this festival's 10 meter diameter inflatable spheres representing bodies of the Solar System are less often seen on planet Earth.

Attack on @fallenclan >:D

Had some silly fun trying to figure out how to make the crow wing shadows look like crowflame had 'wings' while also making the sky in the background have a setting-sun like colour to imitate fire. This led me to discovering anticrepuscular rays! fun little guys.
