The Morning Upon A Pillar

Winter mornings in Park City are typically picturesque, but this morning’s sunrise was particularly so as this sun pillar rose with our star, seeming to point the way for the sun’s journey over the Uinta Mountains in the east. Sun pillars are the result of sunlight reflecting off the surface of millions of tiny ice crystals in the air, often reaching high above the horizon and taking on the colors of the illuminated clouds.
