...Good morning Dennis, and thanks for stopping by. <br /><br />No this is not a sun pillar, although because it is only a partial bow I could see why one might think so. What isn't obvious form the pictures in the post is that the first two images are the two sides of the bow, with the top arcing part missing (the third image is the same part of the bow as in the first shot). <br /><br />Sun pillars are in the direction of the sun, appearing above and occasionally below the sun, while this was in the portion of the sky opposite the sun. The other difference is that sun pillars are reflections off of ice crystals, while rainbows are reflection and refraction in water drops, and there had been showers across the bay from where we were.<br /><br />My favorite site for info on these type of phenomena is Les Cowley's <a href="http://www.atoptics.co.uk/" rel="nofollow"> Atmospheric Optics</a><br /><br />Take care.MevetShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16430426865164363154noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8830177227225438802.post-80987290674863856452013-07-07T13:37:45.973-04:002013-07-07T13:37:45.973-04:00Steve, is this a sort of sun pillar?
