I was able to catch another, granted not near as nice as Swizz's but a nice sight.

Heck, that's purtier than mine, great colors! A tad over-exposed on the bottom and impossible to avoid with the natural contrast in lighting, I may have been tempted to crop that out while tinkering in post-production.

I still think the colors in yours is much better!! I was lucky to even get a shot of that one. I could barely see it at first, so I had to climb the truck (should have tried the roof) to get a better look.
 It was just showing over the roof tops. I made the mistake of zooming into it a bit before taking the pic.........then cropped it out after taking out the rooftops. My pic looks way too grainy, especially since I had to crop out such a small area. I got it though, and didnt fall off the truck in the process.

Love those sun pillars! Here is another to add to the collection. It started off entirely pink then worked its way into other colors.
All of this right after watching several meteors blazing past from the Perseid meteor shower coming up soon, but many to be seen already!  First shot gives a wider scene shot. The second is a zoom in of it right before the sun came up and gobbled it down. 
Have you seen any lately?

Great one Chris and it tops it off with the horse in the snow.
 Maybe it was headed back to the farm for dinner and a warm barn?

Caught one yesterday morning! Not a big one, but with the cooling fall temps I hope to be seeing bigger ones soon.

Here is a "cool" one I took this morning. Alot of clouds for this one, almost giving it the effect that there was a second sun in the pillar. Very cold mornings so hopefully we will be seeing more.
Nice way to start the new year!
