Post-Sunset Crepuscular Rays at Maximum Intensity 6.30 pm.

Following the development of rainbow pilei and cloud shadows above the prominent cumulus formation near Murahwa Mountain presented in my last post, the setting Sun, which remained hidden, continued to shine brightly beyond and then produced a beautiful display of orange, red and magenta crepuscular rays adjacent to a broad cloud shadow which had developed above the cumulus remnant near the sunset point.
