Late last weekend, semi-pro photographer Timothy Joseph Elzinga woke up in the early hours of the morning to attend to his crying two-year-old son. When he looked out the window, he was greeted with a rare and spectacular sight known as light pillars. Smartly, he picked up his camera and captured some of the most incredible images of this natural phenomenon we’ve ever seen.

That was my impression, yes.

Yeah. That was my first thought, although the place doesn’t look like it needs cooling :)

My first thought, too.

“A light pillar is an atmospheric optical phenomenon in the form of a vertical band of light which appears to extend above and/or below a light source. The effect is created by the reflection of light from numerous tiny ice crystals suspended in the atmosphere or clouds.”

That makes it similar to the pillars of light seen in reflection of man-made lights on pools (or rivers) of water with slight ripples (frequently seen on the Yarra).
