Peterson imaged these rays apparently illuminating the undersides of
clouds from the l15 freeway in San Diego County, California near
to sunrise on 21st March 2004. It is very possible that these
are rare reflected crepuscular rays produced
by upward going sunrays reflected up from calm
water. There is a large body of water 70 miles to the east that
was exactly on the line of sight to the sun when the images were
taken. Glancing reflections off smooth water are strong and so
this is not as implausible as it sounds. ©2004
