   Summary Authors:  Piero Armando;  Jim Foster
   The setting Sun behind the peaks of the  Orsiera-Rocciavrè Massif,
   cast this impressive set of  crepuscular rays over Turin, Italy.
   Though most often associated with clouds, gaps in mountain peaks can
   also produce  lanes of shadow and sunlight. However, there must be
   sufficient  aerosols in the atmosphere in order to result in the
   dramatic effect shown above. Note it's  perspective that seems to
   make the rays converge near the horizon. Photo taken on September 9,
   2022.

   Photo details: Canon EOS 600D camera;1/1250 sec. exposure; f/7; ISO
   100; 180 mm focal length.

   Turin, Italy Coordinates: 45.0703, 7.6869
