Is this what you saw?! That would be something to see, for sure!<br /><br />http://antwrp.gsfc.nasa.gov/apod/ap090804.htmlJackiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15461386564339879940noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4014005277153555622.post-67720207638089474692009-10-18T09:46:49.060-05:002009-10-18T09:46:49.060-05:00Wow, what a wonderful, descriptive post.

We are less than 20 miles from the mountains, so the big, wide, open sky of the desert is gloriously expansive. <br /><br />Last week I was driving west in late afternnon and noticed a vertical column of light, with a rainbow tinge, in some clouds, above and below the sun. Then I realized the sun was a good 10-20 degrees of arc farther to the right from where I was looking. And beyond that, farther to the right, was an identical column, not as bright. But it looked like there were 3 suns in the sky -- I briefly felt like I had been transported to one of the alternate worlds I have seen in sci fi shows!

A solid stream of white light shot up from the horizon into the sky burning a hole through the lingering clouds on the horizon. It was spectacular! That's one of the nice things about being in Kansas. <br /><br />I don't have real horizons. To the west I have mountains I can all but reach out and touch. Sunsets are often gorgeous, but it's different than what you get treated to in Kansas.<br /><br />The sunrise is obstructed by trees and "haze" that often hangs in the air over Denver. That, and well, I'm seldom up to look.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
