Uploaded by: stoneygirl — Thursday February 7, 2013 — Worcester, MA (Current Weather Conditions)

Can I tell you I nearly jumped out of my car on a major highway when I saw this as I came up over the hill in Worcester? This was the most incredible and intense sun pillar I've ever see in my life. I actually can't take credit for this pic because I was in the back seat of the car so I grabbed my camera and tossed it to my daughter Melissa in the front seat and told her to start shooting and she did. She did a wonderful job catching this at 55 MPH. What a sight. Kind of the calm before Nemo!

Yup, you've got to "get it while the getting's good!", Debby. So glad it's a like mother, like daughter thing with photography here. Would hate to have missed seeing this!

About stoneygirl
stoneygirl My name is Debbie and I live in Central Massachusetts. I am a mom of 2, a grandma to Jace and a "Mama Stone" (as I'm called) to about 25 rental kids as I call them. I consider myself to be a serious maybe even (as all my kids would say, "Obsessed" photographer. If it moves I photograph it, if breaths I photograph it, if it doesn't breath I photograph it and if it doesn't move I photograph it even more. Ok, so my kids are right, I'm obsessed. I never leave home with out it, my camera that is. I've always loved photography but as I've headed into my mid-life crisis period I have begun to open my eyes to more of the wonder around me. Why it took so long I don't know but look out world I have arrived. Now I have a thirst to make up for lost time and I love Wunderground and all of the wunderful photographers I get to share my world with. I absolutely love seeing everyone�s photos from around the world and for that I thank all of you for your wonderful generosity for sharing them with me and us on this great site. Smile say cheese now!!Large Visitor Globe
