Description:

At sunset while I was processing astronomical images on the computer, from the terrace of the house I hear my wife's strong voice: "The divine rays! Come and see the divine rays!" I run out onto the terrace and immediately turn my gaze to the west: in front of me the show: the Crepuscular rays. I hadn't seen since the eruption of the Pinatubo volcano (1991) such imposing rays: at that time probably the dust of the volcano had made the phenomenon so spectacular. Only the smartphone was close enough to try it out to perpetuate this miracle. 1 x 1/50s ISO 64
