 Anti-crepuscular rays, an illusion of perspective created when the sun's rays seem to converge at the horizon opposite the setting sun.

Wow! I love it. As I was shooting this morning, something came back to me that I read when I first got into photography. "When you think you have a beautiful shot, turn around and look behind you." This image epitomizes that philosophy. Thanks for sharing it.
