Light Pillars

I was driving home from the Kitchener Rangers/Owen Sound Attack game last Friday (go Platers!) and what do I see? Light Pillars! This is a cool atmospheric phenomenon which is caused by light being reflected off of tiny ice crystals in the sky. In this case, the light is coming from lights on the ground, mostly flood lights, etc. This is the second time I've seen them, and this time wasn't as spectacular as the first, but this time I could get to my apartment and take some photos. It may seem that the pillars are just reflections on the camera lens, but they're not. If you look closely there's many of them in the sky, and you can't see the light source on the ground for some of them. Check it out...
