Title: SunPillar Post by: rjgjr on February 20, 2011, 03:22:31 am Grabbed these this evening. It was amazing as the Sun Pillar just popped on like a light as the Sun dropped behind the bank of clouds. Brightest one I've seen in awhile.

Lovely colours! Title: Re: SunPillar Post by: rjgjr on February 20, 2011, 04:17:04 pm Thanks for the comment Brian!
