Crepuscular Rays, Ipswich

A fine display as the sun sets behind the AXA building on Civic Drive, viewed from a first floor apartment in Lower Brook Street. Crepuscular rays are formed by sunlight passing through gaps in broken cloud and falling on dust and haze in the atmosphere. The rays are actually almost parallel, only converging 93 million miles away at the sun - the radiating effect is merely perspective.
