Light Pillar Rising from Streetlamp in Icelandic Dawn

by Shannon Crosby

A vertical column of crystalline ice crystals ascends from a glowing streetlamp, piercing the dark air above a quiet Icelandic street. The light source casts a sharp, electric beam upward while the surrounding pavement remains in deep shadow. Subtle rim light outlines the edge of a passing cloud, hinting at a brief sun shower despite the low sun angle. The cold air holds the pillar steady, its facets catching the first pale hints of dawn. Wet asphalt reflects the faint orange glow, against the cool blue tones of the early morning. One raindrop rests on the metal post, catching the light before sliding down the cold surface.
