Sunbeams

Mike Palumbo

Every once in a great while, the natural elements come together. For this to show up down the street from where I live, the humidity has to be high, the temperature has to be high, the rain has to have just stopped, and the sun has to have just come back out (at the proper time of day of course). AND it's only visible as you travel in one direction.

I traveled through it on my way home from work, ran into the house and got my camera and began to walk back to where I saw it. After I past where I knew it was, but didn't see it, I feared it was already gone. I turned around to go home and behold!

I started taking pictures. A couple of teenagers walking their dog came down this road toward me and asked what was I taking a picture of. I said turn around. They turned to look back up the road they just came down and their jaws dropped.
