Sunrays Near Sundown

Approaching sunset the Sun was behind the clouds but shafts of light known as crepuscular rays, broke through the cloud layers. If you look closer there is a dark cloud triangle in the middle where some rays are also emanating.

Sunrays (crepuscular rays) are a form of optical illusion based on perspective. While the sun's rays are actually parallel, they appear to diverge or fan out from the sun due to linear perspective, similar to how parallel train tracks look like they converge in the distance. These rays are caused by sunlight scattering through gaps in clouds or haze.
