'Sun Pillar at 16:38:50' (I could not believe my eyes! Not a reflection) - when the air is cold and the sun is rising or setting, falling ice crystals can reflect sunlight and create an unusual column of light ~●≈Renáta's∞Realm≈●~

Greetings ஜ♥๑ .Яεηάtα K. ๑♥ஜ..I have never seen that phenomena so clearly..It is truly amazing and yet another reason for my liking of sunsets..The beam can be likened to the thrust of a space rocket or the flare stack on an oil rig, only brighter.
I'm guessing you adjusted the white balance setting for the this shot..Either way, I enjoyed seeing these photos...Very nice too ;>)
I'm hitting the sack my friend, it's 0235 hrs in the UK.
Nitey nite ;>)

Hope you had a good sleep dear Jim! Thank you for your wonderful visit and knowledgeable comment. I didn't adjust the white balance, that seems to happen when I zoom in a bit on the sun, I guess I should have tried to get rid of that cast before I posted it, but I just couldn't wait, I was so excited! :)

Bloody Hell! Run for cover... They're dropping the bombs! Cool. Were you not crapping yourself?

I was extremely excited, no time for crapping! I didn't know what it was Troll, but I knew I wanted to get evidence of it with my camera! I guess it was a bit like people standing on the beach taking photos of the ocean receding and then run like hell when they see the tsunami...only luckily not as dangerous!

Fascinating phenomenon Rεηάtα. This is what may be referred to as "The Green Ray" by some people. If it was, you should have made a wish, according to a French film of the same name, though of course it's too late now! Best wishes - Jim

Thank you very much dear Jim! I think the Sun or Light Pillar is a different phenomenon from the Green Ray or Flash. What I photographed lasted for about half an hour, the Green Ray last for 2 to 5 seconds...from what I just read. They are both a part of Mother Nature's magic! Next time I'll make a wish anyway and I'll let you know the results! :)))
