It Wasn't Hard
It wasn't hard to figure out where the Sun was going to rise this morning. That vertical beam showed up about 20 minutes before sunrise and pointed the way. I can't say that I've ever seen that particular phenomenon so intense. This is about 12 minutes before sunrise. Monte Sano State Park, Huntsville, Alabama.
