I should have posted this image in December but seeing as you're reading this....I didn't, so here we are. Christmas in April! I took this image on December 23rd, 2022 looking at the pier on Sylvan Lake. The snow in the foreground is covering the frozen lake.
This is a cool phenomenon known as light pillars. The sciencey explanation for this is light reflecting off ice crystals in the air. Enjoy!
...I like Christmas all year long!
ReplyDeleteIt's a great season!
DeleteWhat a spectacular shot -- not just of the pillars of light phenomenon, but of the Christmas lights below them! I'd never heard nor seen the pillars before moving to Alberta. They are very cool!
ReplyDeleteThanks Debra, I hadn't ever seen them until within the last couple of years.
DeleteWhat an interesting and attractive shot. I've never seen anything like that before - I suppose that's the price we pay for our pleasantly mild winters in the UK.
ReplyDeleteHi John, as cold and snowy as we get, it does produce some beautiful scenes. Hopefully the car will start to get to them lol!
DeleteStunning!
