I experienced the sun rising and setting in the eastern sky today. Anti-crespular rays, or anti-solar rays, are a meteorological optical phenomena similar to the sunset rays many have experienced in the western sky, except they appear opposite the sunset in the eastern sky. Anti-crespular rays are essentially parallel, but appear to converge toward the anti-solar point, or the vanishing point, due to a visual illusion from a linear perspective.
The rays replicate the pattern of the mountains that the sun is highlighting in the western sky, in this case, the Beartooth Mountains in Clark, Wyoming. In my extensive travels around the world, having viewed thousands of sunsets, I have only experienced this phenomenon from my homestead in Clark, Wyoming.

The first Bahá’í House of Worship on the African continent, completed in 1961, is in Kampala, Uganda and has become a well-known landmark. Bahá’í Houses of Worship are spiritual gathering places open to all peoples. It was far from easy to get here. I took a bus from Kenya to Uganda over night, with multiple delays and had to switch hotels three times. But I was able to make it and listen to prayers and choir and meet locals. The stories have been touching and at times funny. One story was the Ugandans were skeptical of the Temple and rumored it had ghosts. There are no ghosts, but it is a very spiritual and peaceful place to visit so please go if you can. #bahai #bahaitemple #bahaihouseofworship #Uganda #kampala #africa #solofemaletravel #solotravel #travel #sightsee #femaletraveler #travelblog #nofilter #nofilterneeded (at Bahá'í House of Worship - Uganda) https://www.instagram.com/p/Co4bSsVtZcg/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
