crepuscular rays


crepuscular rays
fanning through holes in blue clouds
touch snow-filled furrows

White sunbeams shining through holes in blue stratocumulus clouds fan out like reflections of the snow-filled furrows radiating from a line of bare black trees. It's all perspective. The rays of sunlight are actually equidistant but appear to diverge from behind the clouds, in the same way that the parallel furrows seem to widen as they get nearer. I am grateful for this illusion of expansion, so much more interesting than lines that never meet.
