Sun Pillar, and Ross Colonial Cemetery Sun Pillar I was out chasing sunsets again, in a completely different place, but I found myself on a hill seeing the sunset from a lovely vantage point. After a few photos that I liked I was about to leave then saw the clouds redden and a new view of the sunset form. Just after the sun set I saw a phenomenon known as a sun pillar, where the sun shines up through ice crystals in the atmosphere.
