West Seattle scene: Saturday sunset, with ‘sun pillar’

Alki photographer David Hutchinson shares that view of tonight’s sunset, with the explanation: “At sunset this evening, you could see a faint ‘sun pillar‘. This is an atmospheric phenomenon caused by light reflecting from ice crystals.” (Good news in the forecast, by the way – mostly sunny tomorrow, partly sunny Memorial Day.)
