Landscape Cloud Spray?

Cloud Spray? · 03:45 PM

I shot these three pics from the cockpit of our docked boat right before heading to dinner (and an authoritative G&T). Frankly, I have to admit that I know of no word that describes this phenomenon - for now I'm using "cloud spray."

Right place of course is on the boat and the Right time is the great angle you captured. Must have been cool to see, great shots bud.

Neat.I guess it's some variation of the God's Fingers effect, but I've never seen it like this before.

I always figure when this happens, GOD is about to speak. Haven't heard him yet though.

Whatever name you call it, it's remarkable. Great shots.

I've not seen this phenomenon often, either. It must be light scattering off of particles - perhaps pollutants. Clear Lake is in the Houston area, after all.

Since I'm a scientist, I was thinking of physics rather than the Almighty. Maybe I should have been listening.

This is very cool phenomena and you have a better chance of witnessing it because of the big sky over open water. I love your shots... very dramatic and awe-inspiring!!

Well captured writing of light

I believe that the phenomenon is called crepuscular rays, and very nice they are too.
