Sunset May 19, 2004. (Note the aerostat pointed into a south wind.)

Looking east at a spotlight cast by the sun through a hole in the west. August 9, 2003.

Looking east at sunset where rays from the sun converge, caused by gaps inthe clouds or possibly the Huachuca Mountains. July 27, 2003.

A few moments after taking the convergent rays in the east I took this picture looking west to show that the rays are formed by gaps in the clouds above the western horizon.

Looking west from my residence near Sierra Vista, AZ at clouds over Miller Peak (left) and Carr Peak illuminated by setting sun.  2002.12.29.
