He who has a why to live can bear almost any how.

A man who dares to waste one hour of time has not discovered the value of life.

Don't go around saying the world owes you a living. The world owes you nothing. It was here first.
Mark Twain

I have a simple philosophy: Fill what's empty. Empty what's full. Scratch where it itches.

John, although crepuscular rays on their own are wonderful to see, I've never seen one that beautiful, although it's a single one.
Perfect render with again a high level of artistry!
Your post as a whole has the same quality!

Okay Mr C, you have successfully sent me to Wikipedia to find out what crepuscular rays are and here is what I found out:

Crepuscular rays /krɪˈpʌskjʊlər/ (more commonly known as sunbeams, sun rays, splintered light, or god rays), in meteorological optics, are rays of sunlight that appear to radiate from the point in the sky where the Sun is located. Shining through openings in clouds (particularly stratocumulus or between other objects such as mountains, these columns of sunlit scattering particles are separated by darker shadowed volumes. Despite seeming to converge toward the light source, the rays are essentially parallel shafts of sunlit and shadowed particles. Their apparent convergence is a visual illusion from linear perspective. This illusion is the same as railway lines' or long hallways' appearing to converge at a distant vanishing point.

The scattering particles that make crepuscular rays visible can be air molecules or particulates.

Thanks Mr C for your comments on my picture (always excellent) and teaching me a new word (which I just my use someday in a title) :)

Love your creation, SEA's teaching moment and your response Strat.
You don't get that on any other site.
I saw and old inkwell and a red pen.
The crepuscular ray is a better description for sure.

People are like cameras--sometimes they lose focus.

Wow John!! To me it looks like an decaying lamp post about to fall over but being held up by some kind of electrical, interstellar object/force!! Great work buddy!

I am with Tick - I immediately saw a pen and inkwell and thought of someone long ago penning their thoughts in a diary

My thanks to all who leave comments for my work and to those of you who like one enough to make it a favourite. To touch just one person that way makes each image worthwhile. . . . . . . . . .. . . . "The question is not what you look at, but what you see" ~ Marcel Proust
