Sun Pillar

Sun PillarI had to get up early this morning (5.15am) for an early morning test at 8.20am. I glanced out of the window and noticed a red sky – “red sky in the morning…” I thought to myself – but then I noticed that there was a sun pillar.

You don’t often see them this pronounced, and the photo I took using my phone’s camera doesn’t do it justice.

This one lasted quite a while, and the vivid red, orange, and purple sky colouring made it particularly attractive.

The “red sky in the morning” thing also looks like being quite accurate on this occasion. It started off sunny, but has quickly clouded over and heavy rain is forecast. It’s also quite cold out there.
