Inverted Sun Pillar

Now this is something you don't often see. Sun Pillars are caused by the sun's rays focusing up through ice crystals in the atmosphere that are gently falling to earth. We only see them when the sun is at the horizon. After sunrise, the sky is too bright to see them and after sunset, it is too dark. But this morning, the sun was temporarily obscured by a thick cloud layer soon after it rose and a pillar appeared. But instead of rising up from the sun, it's headed down. Just one of those topsy-turvy-groundhog-day-things, I guess.
