Light pillars
Light pillars is a natural optical phenomenon. It is an admirable and relatively common thing to see in the sky. These columns of light appear to beam upwards from unshielded lights and create an incredible view. Light pillars are most often seen during sunsets and sunrises. They can reach a height of 5° to 10° and sometimes even higher.
This phenomenon is caused by the reflection of light from horizontal surfaces arranged horizontally by the free fall of flake ice crystals.
The appearance of a column of light depends on its formation and the direction of incidence.
