Checkowy caught these light pillars at
3am local time on 1st December '02 when the temperature was
about minus 15C. The pillar heights can be measured using the
background stars. The pillars are some 30° tall, much taller
than sun pillars. Intrigued as to their source, Lori followed
the beams by car when they next appeared. The bright pillars
were from a lumber-yard 2km away. During the search the same
crystals created (lower left image) a natural lunar
pillar and left hand parhelion
