Crepuscular Rays over South Yorkshire Moorland
On 09/06/2026 05:40 pm by Sophie Vincent | Website | Stony Ridge Road, South Yorkshire / Peak District National Park border
Low-angle evening sunlight breaks through gaps in a stratocumulus cloud deck over Stony Ridge Road, casting distinct crepuscular rays down toward the moorland. The shafts of light become visible as sunlight is scattered forward by water droplets and atmospheric aerosols within the lower troposphere.
