Details:
Ten minutes after the Sun had set at the base of a growing cumulus cloud (gallery id=159595) post-sunset crepuscular rays started to be projected above it. The accompanying photographs, taken from a different viewpoint on Murambi Heights, provide several views of the crepuscular rays and cloud shadows over a fifteen minute interval between 6.25 and 6.39 pm. This display was interesting in that it was produced by a nearby cumulus cloud with the rays and shadows being directly projected onto a local layer of thin high cloud. There was no bright yellow sunset twilight arch or magenta reflections from stratospheric aerosols as observed during a display of more distant origin on 17th February (gallery id=159478). Camera: Hand-held Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ60 in sunset mode.
