Crepuscular Rays Can Creep Up on You

[JimFox]

Most of you have seen my recent thread from the Bonneville Salt Flats in Utah of the Anti-Crepuscular Rays I had at sunset. On this particular evening the Crepuscular Rays made a valiant attempt to join in on the sunset also. While not quite as a vivid they also gave a pleasing show. The light is different since this is facing the sun now, and the light angles are different.

All comments are welcome.

PS. I didn't post this one to be in a contest with the Anti-Crepuscular Ray image, but since some people weren't familiar with these, it was more to show the difference between the two Crepuscular Ray types.

Both of your shots are really good examples of Crepuscular Rays. Looks like you had a lot of fun with the salt polygons.

Thanks Alan.

Yeah, these are the best Salt polygons I have seen in a few years. The last couple of years in Death Valley the polygons were a bust mainly, not well formed or defined at all. So it was really nice to see these.

Jim, you might have gotten the jackpot here, Those are fantastic salt polygons and the rays are not to shabby either.
