Crepuscular Shadows Over Guatemala City
March 28, 2016
Photographer: David Rojas
Summary Authors: David Rojas; Jim Foster
The montage above shows a set of crepuscular rays against an altocumulus sky as viewed from Guatemala City, Guatemala. Building cumulus clouds capping the summits of the Fuego, Agua and Acatenango volcanoes (each exceeding 12,000 ft or 3,658 m and approximately 30 mi or 48 km from Guatemala City), partially blocked the setting Sun -- behind the camera. The shadow lanes from these summit clouds are projected across the sky; their shadows growing as the Sun dipped further below the horizon. Photo taken on February 28, 2016.
