Light Pillar Rising Over Frozen Oslo Plain
by Hugh Melton
Hard coastal glare strikes the snow-covered plain near Oslo, illuminating a vertical column of light that shoots straight upward from the frozen ground. The early spring thaw leaves the surface uneven, with patches of dark ice visible beneath the white crust. A perfectly clear blue sky frames the pillar, emphasizing its sharp, geometric precision against the vast, storm-bright expanse. Layers of depth recede into the distance where faint, low hills meet the horizon. The light reflects off crystalline ice particles, creating a shimmering effect that contrasts with the matte texture of the surrounding snow. At the base of the column, a small cluster of frost-covered stones anchors the phenomenon to the earth.
