Yesterday I learned what light pillars are and how they arise. According to the news, these could be seen in several areas in northern Stockholm yesterday – and, luckily for us, also from our living room window. Quite cool, and pretty as well. I only managed to catch the brightest ones in the photo but in reality we saw several more. They came and went, brighter and weaker, as the air moved.

(It may seem from the photo as if the pillars are above the street light, but that’s just because they were in the same direction – in reality they were much farther away, above some unknown light source.)
