The Story

“The Alvord Desert is a vast, dry lakebed sitting in the rainshadow of the Steens Mountain in Southeast Oregon. The expansive, open skies are perfect for capturing unique phenomena like these anti-crepuscular, or anti-solar, rays.

Anti-crepuscular rays are meteorological optical phenomena that appear to converge opposite of the setting or rising sun (now that’s a mouthful). In other words, those dark blue and light pinkish rays you see in this image – they are converging in the eastern sky while the sun sets in the west. Pretty cool!”
