Here is a picture of a sun pillar I took this morning.
 I love seeing these!This is a faint one, but a nice one none the less. Have you taken any pictures of sun pillars? If so we would love to see them.

Thanks Caveman, they are preyy cool to see. The conditions have to be just right to catch one. This morning had just enough ice crystals in the atmosphere to give up one. It looks like the sun is already up but it isn't. In fact it didn't come up for another 15 minutes after taking this pic.
 Have a great weekend everyone!
