Fantastic! From my vantage in Embudo I could see something that looked like a pillar, but didn't have enough clouds above it to really make an impression in the photos I took. Congratulations and happy new year!

Wow! Thank you very much Steve, Jeannie, Duane, Carol, Ralf, Rural Artist, Polymorph, Summer, Mary, Delana, & Mary for your great comments.

Thank you Summmer & Polymorph for juggling my memory on the work Sun Pillar. Couldn't think of the right word when I was posting it. Hadn't seen one in a long time, so hadn't had a reason to use it.
Thanks & Happy New Year!

Thank you very much Approvers for the Blue on my sunset. Much appreciated.
Happy New Year to all.

Thank you very much Heidrun for your great comment.
I have seen a few of them, and even more noticeable, but it had been 3 or 4 years since I'd seen one.
