A clouded out solar eclipse... it's Pittsburgh! But some well placed holes in the cloud and a setting sun created these interesting crepuscular rays. As the sun went down, the rays tilted upwards. Doesn't it look like 'daytime aurora' in the last 2 frames? Images taken with a camcorder in Shenley park, Pittsburgh, 2001/12/14.
