I was working on a Saturday at the office, just after a storm had passed through. I looked outside to catch the late afternoon sunset forming, ran back to my office to grab my camera and fire off a volley of shots. I hope you like it.

I love these "God rays". Every time I see them I'm searching for a place to get off the road to grab a shot. :-) In your shot here I like how you can see just a peek into the blue skies above. Well done. Good luck in the challenge. p.s. - my top pick. :)
Hi, you have probably heard this a hundred times already, but I reckon this will ribbon.. nice shot. I'm hoping my "hell" shot will be up there on the frontpage with you!
Would love to know who shot this.. bumping up to a 9
The loveliest of the "heavenly skies" images. Love the golden hues and the crispness of the rays below the clouds. The tiny details on the horizon are also so sharp, but are just enough to give a sense of scale.
