A few nights ago, the conditions were just right to produce some stunning crepuscular rays:
And when you turned around and faced directly away from the sun, there were some really pronounced anticrepuscular rays. I took some decent photos of ’em, but all attempts to stitch them together into a panorama have failed miserably. If anyone has any suggestions for a good photo stitching program that can mash these together seamlessly, I’d appreciate a heads-up.

Beautiful!
My son reminded me of something I taught him and his sister. I suggested that when they saw that sort of thing they could run under cover and say in a terrified fashion, “Oh no! Crepuscular rays!” — and cover their faces and/or hide. I was amazed at how often adults with PhDs would react with genuine fear to their statement. Or maybe it’s just Southern Baptists who are vulnerable to that kind of thing.
