After several days when the sun has been hard to see on the Targoviste sky, today it appeared and offered us a sunset accompanied by an interesting optical phenomenon – Sun pillars. I confess I have not seen this too often and I don’t know too much about this phenomenon.
Most sun pillars are seen when the sun is low on the horizon (generally no more than 6 degrees above) or just below it.When bright light passes from the sun through a portion of the sky containing a concentration of ice crystals, many other interesting phenomena like arcs, glories, halosand sun dogs can appear.

Amazing awesome vision! Were you on a hill when you captured this great, heavenly sight of the sunset? This reminds of our kind and gracious Creator! Thank you for sharing!
Thank you! I took the picture from the bedroom window.?
Imagine that! The bedroom faces west every day! What a blessing!
i have only seen pictures of this, I’ve never seen it in person. So cool!
The phenomenon happens if certain conditions are met.
I had read about it, have never seen it. Thank you for sharing!
With pleasure. I am happy to share with you the new things I discover.
I had no idea about this phenomenon until I observed it!
thank you! I was a school teacher and spent a lot of time learning about solar phenomena, for a unit.
🙂 seeing is the cooler thing!
Never seen such phenomenon before
I was lucky. It is not a common phenomenon.
That is amazing the sun looks like a great big projector shining into the sky
You have imagination!?It really looks like a big projector!
Special view! I have never seen that phenomenon directly except through pictures like this. Thank you for the explanation.
It is, indeed! It was the first time I saw this phenomenon and I am happy that I can share it with you all
That phenomenon will not occur in my country because there have never been ice crystals here.
I know that! You have other wonderful things out there that we don’t have!
Oh my, never seen this before. Like a UFO landing in the sky!
I have read that sun pillars are often the source of some UFO reports!?
This is a stunning photograph! You are so lucky to have captured this beauty! Congrats!
Thank you, Karen! I am a lucky person, indeed!?
I live on the 7th floor and I can easily see almost every sunset!
Wow this is an amazing picture! Does this happen over land or sea?
I saw it over land, but it can probably be seen and over sea.
