Favorite Images From 2011–Crepuscular Rays
Often called God’s rays, crepuscular rays stream through gaps in the clouds as columns of light contrasting with a darker background. They occur most frequently around dusk or dawn when contrasts are most apparent. Crepuscular is the Latin word for twilight.
This was taken in March, 2011, at Asilomar Beach, California.

California Waves — Light Rays
The waves were not particularly large on this day at Asilomar, but I was struck by the light rays striking the ocean through an opening in the clouds. The phenomenon lasted about 5 minutes before the clouds closed together. Taken March, 26, 2011.

Anza-Borrego State Park–Sunset Light Rays
Crepuscular rays of sunlight stream through clouds above the peaks that surround the Palm Canyon campground in the Anza-Borrego State Park. Sometimes called God Rays, they seem to radiate from a single point and often stream through gaps in clouds.

Cook Inlet
The Cook Inlet stretches about 180 miles from Anchorage south to the Gulf of Alaska. The Inlet provides navigable access for Anchorage and Homer. This image was captured in early September, 2006. Dark clouds alternated with patches of sun to create this dramatic scene.
