    Crepuscular Rays Observed from Italian Alps

      Shown above is a breathtaking set of  crepuscular rays that I   
      observed over the  Aiguille Noire de Peuterey in the Italian Alps.   
      Rays such as this while most often associated with clouds near the   
      horizon can also take shape when sunlight filters through mountain   
      passes, as was the case on this mid-summer’s evening. However, for   
      these rays to be seen, the atmosphere must be dusty. Sunlight   
       scattered by dust particles, and or other  aerosols suspended in   
      the atmosphere, act to project the rays across the sky. Photo taken on   
      July 29, 2022.   
      
      Photo details: Nikon D100 camera; Sigma lens 18-250 mm (18 mm); 1/250
