The Rays of a Setting Sun

 


We didn't actually see the Sun set this evening, but we did get to experience these beautiful "Crepuscular Rays" which are caused by shafts of sunlight shining between gaps in the clouds and as they emerge as beams of light, they strike dust particles in the air, and we get to see these beautiful rays of light.  A beautiful ending to a really nice day in Big Bend National Park.  There were about a dozen or more people gathered at the end of a walkway at a viewing site to see the famous "Window" between these massive rock formations, and there were nice conversations among the viewers as we watched this beautiful event.
